Movable Type?
Blogger has been a pain lately - the main reason I went Pro is spell checking and it's currently not working for me. And Blogger over all has been a little flaky the last couple of days (apparently ever since Ev went to SXSW). Although I'm probably not going to jump ship any time soon, I've been looking at some alternatives. It seems that Movable Type has been receiving the greatest accolades.
So I gave it a try and installed MT for a test drive. Installation is not too difficult for the savvy and what you get is pretty amazing. The editing environment is very polished (I love their sense of style) and very full featured. I did some test posts using their default template.
They're supposed to be releasing a version 2.0 in a week or two, so I may take a look at it again in a couple of months (I'm a software developer and I know how stable new releases are). Still, depending on how Blogger is in the near future, I may switch to MT at some point.
