Answer

When you purchase Movable Type, you are given a unique key which is used to notify our home page when you have added a new entry to your site.

The Update key should be displayed on the main page of Your Movable Type Account under your license. Copy the key from this screen.

Then, log into your Movable Type installation and select Settings > New Entry Defaults, and scroll down to Publicity/Remote Interfaces¹. Locate the Recently Updated Key setting, paste the key you copied from Your Account into the blank field, and save your changes.

Now, when you publish a new entry on your site, the key will be sent to our server, triggering the appearance of your site on the Recently Updated List. This helps promote your site and drives traffic each time you create a new post.

You can use the same key for up to three of the weblogs covered by your license. Please note that when you use one key for more than one weblog, the most recently updated site will replace any other sites using that same key from the list.

¹ In versions prior to 3.2, navigate to Weblog Configuration > Preferences, then click the Publicity / Remote Interfaces / TrackBack link.
