-<ul>
-    <li>mt.supportedTextFilters is a dummy stub function that returns an empty string</li>
-    <li>keywords are not supported in the MovableType API</li>
-</ul>

-<ul>
-    <li>Server: <code>http://example.com/</code> (some tools will just want the 'example.com' hostname part)</li>
-    <li>Path: <code>/me/xmlrpc.php</code></li>

 <h1>Post via Email</h1>
 <p>You can post from an email client! To set this up go to your &quot;Writing&quot; options screen and fill in the connection details for your secret POP3 account. Then you need to set up <code>wp-mail.php</code> to execute periodically to check the mailbox for new posts. You can do it with Cron-jobs, or if your host doesn't support it you can look into the various website-monitoring services, and make them check your <code>wp-mail.php</code> URL. </p>

+<h1>Share the Love</h1>
+<p>WordPress has no multi-million dollar marketing campaign or celebrity sponsors, but we do have something even better&#8212;you. If you enjoy WordPress please consider telling a friend, setting it up for someone less knowledgable than yourself, or writing the author of a media article that overlooks us.</p>
