Movable Type
Movable Type is great software and worth the money. The general opinion of the 600 or so trackbacks on Mena's post doesn't quite agree with me but then, when did anyone agree with me?
I know the pricing of v3 has moved some to build their own MT-killer, but... well, my heart says it'll never happen, the MT killing part, not unless they marry a pretty young thing with a good grasp of typography, colour theory and how ordinary people interact with machines.
Yeah, paying extra for MT is one more my fledgling company could do without, but MT is worth the money.
Other sensible people on this subject are Jeremy Zawodny and Jason Kottke. For counter opinion just throw a dart at the interweb, it'll hit someone I'm sure.

More!? OK then, but I can't help feeling that this will be a disappointment to you.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
I just read the restructuring system and I’m much happier, my site now falls nicely under the smallest license fee so we will probably pay for it - although I wish the exchange rate was better. It’s too bad that the original criteria had that loophole because it stirred up a lot of panic - and i don’t mind paying a reasonable amount for software that is that good.
In the meantime, I did download Wordpress and set it up, and it’s mighty nice too - once it gets the capability to do multiple blogs (in their next release apparently) I might make the switch to that.
