MT

Imagine my surprise upon finding out that the latest version of Movable Type actually supports postgres. Which 3.0D and 2.661 didn't.

Squee!

So PreZ installed it for me, on a soon to be unleashed subdomain for the kiddo and all that progress.

And after that I'll get one set up on my new personal subdomain, and overhaul my Greymatter archives to MT.

Don't you have to pay for MT now?
I wonder if Wordpress supports all that stuff now.

Not for a personal edition.

The personal edition supports one author and 3 blogs on one site (ie. same root URL by the way they've worded it). Not really a problem, since for a start, Lilith is now talking about 2 blogs, one for the baby site, one for her personal site. Plus both have different root URLs.

They've always had a free personal edition on MT, even when they changed the licenses last year. I believe the only thing that changed with the free blog license was the amount of blogs you could have running on one URL, and the number of authors was restricted to one.

And no, Wordpress doesn't, I've been watching their site for over a year now for it. Even though plenty of people have requested the feature on their forums (as did I). However, they wanted people to register on their forums and request it, rather than posting guest posts... which I thought was useless... why sign up for forums for software that I can't even use on the databases we run, just to ask them to support that database type, when they don't seem particularly interested in doing it for a start?

Plus MT has a much larger community attached, with plug-ins and support and the whole shebang. And unlike Greymatter, is still an active project. (Though I believe Greymatter is now being updated by users on the forums, but no longer by the original creator).
