      <![CDATA[<p>Not to long ago I posted about a <a href="http://www.majordojo.com/movable_type/plugin_survey.php">survey</a> I conducted at <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/">Six Apart</a> to better understand what plugins people use most often. The results of this survey will be used to help shape the next major version of Movable Type, code named "Athena."</p>

<p>To those interested in the results of this survey, here is a summary of the results (or visit Six Apart to see the <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/weblog/2007/02/plugin_survey_results.html">complete results</a>):</p>

<h3>1. What plugins do you have installed? (Top 5)</h3>

<table width="100%">
<tr><th></th><th>Plugin Name</th><th>Percent</th><th>Response Count</th></tr>
<tr><td>1.</td><td><a href="http://www.rayners.org/plugins/multiblog/">Multiblog</a></td><td>30%</td><td>53</td></tr>
<tr><td>2.</td><td><a href="http://plugins.movalog.com/mt-blogroll/">MT-BlogRoll</a></td><td>27%</td><td>48</td></tr>

<tr><td>5.</td><td><a href="http://akismet.com/development/">MT-Akismet</a></td><td>21%</td><td>38</td></tr>
</table>

<p>Two plugins I wrote made the top 10: <a href="http://www.majordojo.com/projects/PluginManager/">Plugin Manager</a> was #6, and <a href="http://www.majordojo.com/projects/MTAmazon/">MTAmazon</a> was #10.

<h3>3. If you were only allowed to install one plugin, which one would it be? (top 5)</h3>

	<![CDATA[<p>Thanks for posting those results. Pretty interesting results; a lot of those plugins were definitely not what I was thinking would come up. Yet there's the cold hard data.</p>
