ABOUT MOVABLE TYPE

Movable Type (http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/) is a web-based personal publishing system. It is designed to ease maintenance of regularly-updated news or journal sites, like weblogs. It contains features common to many other such systems (hosted locally on your server, template-driven, highly-configurable, permalinks, etc.); in addition, it also includes support for the following features:

Import data -- allows you to import your entries and comments from other content management systems (Blogger, Greymatter, News Pro), then manage those posts through Movable Type.
Multiple output templates -- enables one-click publishing to multiple destinations and formats: XML RSS headlines from your site, HTML indexes, etc.
Support for multiple weblogs/journals -- one Movable Type installation can support as many weblogs as you wish.
Support for multiple authors -- register multiple authors, and set their access levels using Movable Type's role-based permissions system.
Entry categorization -- group your entries into categories for your own reference, for archiving purposes, and for display in your weblog.
Search and replace -- save time by performing a global search and replace on all of your entries; use the search feature to look up a particular entry.
Multiple archiving options -- create monthly, weekly, and daily archives of your content; individual pages for each entry; and archives by category. Archive file names and URLs are fully customizable.
Built-in comment system -- allow your visitors to post comments on your entries and engage in conversations. Movable Type supports comments either inline in your weblog, or in popup windows; it also allows you to selectively exclude commenting on certain posts.
Email notification system -- maintain lists of users to whom notification messages can be sent when you post a new entry.
Integration of file and image uploads -- upload files and images, and seamlessly integrate them into new posts.
Bookmarklets -- post to your site from anywhere on the web, without entering the Movable Type system.
Template-based site customization -- combine Movable Type's template tags with standard HTML (or whatever markup language you choose) to build and customize your site.
Pre-date or post-date your entries -- Movable Type allows you to override an entry's date stamp.
Delete entries -- Movable Type allows for true entry deletion, allowing you to clean out old or unwanted entries.
Draft/Publish -- allow for content editorial and approval by setting entries to Draft, then let an editor approve by marking Publish, at which point the entries will be published on your site.
Publicity and notification -- send XML-RPC pings to weblogs.com and the Movable Type Recently Updated List at Sixapart.com.
XML-RPC API -- implements the Blogger XML-RPC API, allowing you to use existing client tools (w.bloggar, BlogApp) to manage your weblog.
Extensible, library-driven code --if you have experience programming in Perl, you can write custom dynamic applications using the Movable Type libraries.
Comment management -- Movable Type has a suite of features to help search, track, and manage comments on your site.
Commenter identification and registration -- allows you to identify commenters over time and permits finer control of your commenting community.
