Hey All!
Doing a website and my client wants me to do it using Movable Type http://www.movabletype.org/. Not sure exactly what to use and how to use it. i can't download because i don't have enough webspace. Can anyone try it and tell or suggest to me the best way to use it and possibly give me a demo?
Much Appreciated,
Mike

Moveable Type is a form of blog management (I believe)

Dude, you should check out mediatemple or 1and1 hosting. Uber cheap for what you get out of the deal. You won't be sorry at all.

You tell your client that, buddy?

Looks like the screenshots are the closest you are going to get for looking at the control panel beyond actually installing it.

If you are indeed doing this for a paying client, I would very highly suggest getting a different hosting service and having the client handle the bill. You can get a hosting package for $4.00 a month with everything you need (including 10gb of webspace) at 1and1. It is really easy to set up.

Also, out of respect to your client, I would very highly suggest not having a lazy attitude about the service you are providing, especially if they are paying you. It's not good for your reputation and leaves the client at a disadvantage as they could be having the work done elsewhere in a timely manner.

Well, if you are too lazy to manifest a better solution so you can better work on your client's project, I think you may have priority issues.

Yeh, for someone that's lazy, you sure are in to overkill.


You realize how big Dream.In.Code is... and it runs VERY comfortably on a 73GB hard drive?
