Welp, after some long deliberation we’ve made the decision to switch from blogger to movable type. Ok, maybe not so long. I’ve actually tried several times in the past to move over, by testing first and I could never get the desired effect. But after converting over most of the current layout I’m pretty confident the move will be a good one. Benifits from moving to movable type:

More ways to feed you: RSS, ATOM, 50 Million ways to syndicate and blogger only allows one.
Categories: Now have the ability to categorize everything.
Tags: One of the cooler features, is to make use of tags fully, and locally. Now technorati gets pinged when we update but not only that, I can sort everything by tags.
Commenting: My current commenting is pretty good, but the New MT 3.2 has some of the best features out there right now to moderate, and block spam etc.
Trackback: It has never worked very well with blogger.. er I don’t think its ever worked correctly.
Locally hosted: No longer do I have to rely on blogger to post. Movable type allows myself and authors to post through wetwired and not some other site.

and others….
