Good News Bad News

The good news is: Movable Type is up and running and works beautifully!

The bad news is: Tracy and I are going to have to change URLs again (and I'm going to have to find a good redirect script).

The good news is: It's for the last time.

The bad news is: We have a lot of template work to do (all over again).

It was easy to install (read: I followed the instructions and it worked). I've tested it with two test blogs in different directories and there's no "blog bleed" like there was with greymatter. I love the interface - it's so clean and professional. And the default templates are very sharp. I love the layout.

Okay...so the geek is jazzed.

It has email notification options - you can be notified when someone posts a comment, you can notify other people when you toss a post up. It has so many great features that I'm overwhelmed. I haven't felt this giddy since I found that $20 laying on the grass in front of my truck! It's that kind of *wow* - what a great find. This is something that definitely warrants a "donation" sent the way of Ben and Mena Trott.
