Well, I’ve only just started blogging and I’m looking dump our current blog platform! First of all though, I’m pretty impressed with Wordpress (the software we’re currently using) in its multi-user configuration. But I thought that I’d play the field a little and take a look at 
Movable Type: Wordpress’ main competitor I guess. Of course for folks looking on from the comfort of your office, living room or study, then all you need care about it how it looks — and that’s down to themes that people generously create in their spare time. But I’m a little more interested in how it performs “under the hood” both in performance terms but also user administration.
I must have spent a good three hours tonight getting Moveable Type configured on my Mac. Many build errors. As a little aside, if you’re looking to install this on a Mac you might find the following references helpful to save you the time that I’ve spent!

So I got it up-and-running, and to be honest I wasn’t that impressed. I downloaded the beta version of their new version 4 and it looks much better, but it’s beta and I’ll not be running that on a production machine. So the bottom line is that we’re keeping Wordpress for the time being and once Moveable Type 4 moves out of beta I’ll take another look.
At least now I’ll invest some more quality time in some widget- and plugin-hunting for Wordpress to enhance(!) your end-user experience!
