Moveable Type 2.2
Moveable Type 2.2. I tried converting the contents of webqueeries.com into Moveable Type so I could see what all the fuss was about. It’s a nice CMS, but I don’t think it’s really has all the features needed for running a MeFi-style weblog (like member profile pages). And it’s missing some of the elements I used in my weblog (like the ability to associate images with posts). I’m also frustrated by the need to continually “rebuild” pages from templates. But if I wasn’t running my own server with PHP and MySQL, I’d probably use it because it seems to be the most powerful freely-available CMS.
the latest release has support for mysql and berkeley db. i haven’t used it, but i’d hope that feature would get you away from that ‘rebuild’ aspect.
