MovableType is free again, for personal use
SixApart’s MovableType, blogging tool is free again. In the beginning it was free and it was one of the most popular and preferred blogging platforms. But in May 2004, SixApart commercialized it. One thing led to another, and MovableType was nowhere to be seen. It was getting less and less popular. On the other hand, now there were so many blogging tools. WordPress was one of them, lately it gained more popularity and became the preferred choice for bloggers.
I believe this move by SixApart, is done, in order to bring the glory that MovableType once had. I am not sure if it will bring its glory back, but one thing I am sure, all bloggers who are familiar with MovableType are happy now. Because MovableType has some advantages that other blogging tools do not. One such advantage is, you can create and manage multiple blogs within MovableType. So if you are running network of blogs, you might want to consider MovableType as your blogging platform.
I don’t think I will be shifting to MT in the near future, I am too much used to WP at the moment.
