Not Expression Engine, Then

I tried out Expression Engine for my blog for a couple of days, and ran into some problems that would pretty much prevent us using it. I asked about it on the PMachine forums, and, along with some helpful advice, they pointed out that the license terms say that you can't use it to run a blogging service, and that mu.nu looks a lot like a blogging service.

So scratch EE. I'm taking another look at Minx right now.

I'd just like to mention that, aside from the spam, I've had no major problems with Movable Type. It's better than BlogSpot, at least.

Yes. Movable Type is pretty good, but I really don't think Six Apart want people doing what we do. They'd much rather have people paying monthly fees to be on TypePad, and I expect that they'll try to push things in that direction with their pricing and licensing. Remember the outcry when the pricing for MT3 was announced? It would have cost literally thousands of dollars to properly license Mu.Nu.

I see how that would be a problem, yes.
