Movable Type

I pride myself on the fact that I am cross platform proficient when it comes to social media. I’ve done a lot with both Drupal and WordPress as many visitors to the site here can probably guess.
I’ve been spending a bit more time on another very popular blog platform lately though. Movable Type has been around since before Drupal and WordPress made it into the consciousness of social media. These days it seems like Movable Type is not quite the powerhouse it was a few years ago.
Truth be told Movable Type is used on quite a few corporate blogs. Some major indie bloggers like Todd Cochrane at Geek News Central and Boing Boing use Movable Type as well. I’ve been using Movable Type on my personal website for a few years now. I’ve also used it to set up sites for my brother and daughter.
I recently moved a whole installation of my personal websites based on Movable Type from one web host to another. The move went well and I didn’t lose any data. I’m also getting better with incorporating audio and video into Movable Type as well.
There are some definite benefits to going with Movable Type over the other systems. Ease of use on managing multiple sites is one of them. I also like the fact that Movable Type actually creates html pages for my posts.
To make a long story short I plan on working on my Movable Type chops over the next few weeks to see how far I can take Movable Type as compared to WordPress and Drupal.
