• How does Movable Type compare to WP (except WP being free)? Does MT have any advantages/disadvantages over WP?

    And I’m bound to say it doesn’t 🙂

    Concerning the link you put down podz, one part of the table says:
    Max. Weblogs for WordPress = 1
    Multiple Sites for WordPress = No
    Is this is a mistake? or….?

    No, that looks correct. 1 install of WP = 1 site, whereas 1 install of MT (for instance) = several sites (if you have the correct licence!!)
    But seeing as it takes moments to install WP, it’s not a hassle is it ? 🙂

    Thanks for the link!

    I’ll throw my 2 cents in if you don’t mind.
    Aside from the php vs. perl thing, from the perspective of someone just wanting to “design” … i’d say they are both pretty flexible.
    I am more likely to “hack” wordpress than I am MT however, cause php comes easier to me.
    MT seems a bit more “professional”, for lack of a better word …
    Occationally wordpress has little “surprises” and quirks.
    Ultimately, I think wordpress is more “hackable” and “tweakable” if you are a little familiar with php.
    I know a little perl too, but MT doesn’t seem as amenable to “quick and dirty” hacks.
    As an example, I regularly “grep” for functions in the wp-includes directory and just hack the sucker in vi if I don’t like the way it works. Anyhow, that probably doesn’t mean anything to you.
    But … the metatag feature in wordpress allows an enourmous amount of flexibility with only meager coding skills.
