As I mentioned earlier, Sixapart has released the beta version of Movable Type. While I haven’t had the time to play with it, Judi has, and she’s listed some of her thoughts on it here.
I think she’s got the right idea… separate install of the beta, so I don’t have to worry about the ‘real’ entries disappearing because of me clicking the wrong button. From reading her entries on it, install and config is a breeze..
So…once we’re moved in and setup at the new place… I’ll be following her lead and setting up a install of the beta to play with… It’ll give me a chance to use the stuff out of Jay Allen’s book (If Amazon ever ships my copy), and play with my templates and switch to dynamic publishing
