If you are reading this blog, you either stumbled on this site randomly, or you noticed that I have finally moved my site off the ipowerweb servers that were giving me so much grief. Well, I hope I didn't lose a bunch of readers by switching, but I think the move will mean the end of all the commenting errors everyone was getting and fewer hours on the phone with powerless tech support trainees that drew the shortest straw and had to man the call center lines at my old hosting service. I used to be excited that they were in Arizona instead of India, but after a few exchanges, I was begging to be connected with Mumbai.

Anyway, since I was switching servers anyway, I went ahead and installed MovbleType 4.0, the latest website management platform released by the folks at Six Apart. Here are my thoughts:

1. Much better posting interface (although it looks suspiciously similar to WordPress, which I would be either upset or flattered about if my name was Matt).
2. Much more complicated template structure (again, very similar to WordPress, but harder to figure out)
3. A very buggy template editing tool.
4. More built-in limits on the personal (free) license version.
5. As of yet, very poor documentation/knowledge base online.

I need to keep upto date on the new version of MT for the sake of my fledgling development business, otherwise I think I would quit using MT. Just not enough that you can do with it that you can't do better or easier with other platforms such as WordPress or Drupal.
