I used this plugin before using 1.0.13 and it worked fine back then too. One thing I noticed with the newer version over the other is that the direct picture posting in 1.0.15 and this current version don't work. But no problem for I simply created an FTP upload to get my images up.
For those who find the install instructions cryptic. Here is what I did.
1. Download and unzip the package.
2. Use Joomla : Installer : Mambot to load the movabletype_2.00_forenglish file.
3. Then I use Core FTP program to copy the xmlrpc folder after it too is unzipped into my main joomla directory.
4. I install the Fronpage mambot also so all new entries get copied to fron page. It is easy to set up.
5 I tested with LiveWRiter, Flock, and Zoundry and it worked fine on all.
Use the settings of Moveable Type of Custom moveable type
Use your url for the first entry ie http://myweb.com
Use http://myweb.com/xmlrpc/index.php for the second and away you go. You will get some error messages about it can't determine the type. Just ignore them.
On 1.0.15 when you set up the FTP make sure on the uri that you specify the images directory correctly i.e. http://myweb.com/images/stories and all works fine.
IN all this makes writing articles a pleasure and much faster. I also reccomend using Zoundary and installing it on a a zip drive. Then you can write when you get the chance and upload all at once.
Have Fun
