I'd need a license? It's not as if i'm devoting an entire hosting plan for lionel's single use of MT. Lionel: But hey! there are plugins that stop the changing of what you type. and plugins that do clean export (including in MT format) and WP allows all kinds of customisation too, albeit in a different manner. think u'll have fun. enjoy!

Actually I *have* checked out weblogs.us. In that email I sent you I said "I've been researching free hosting services. I may have found what I need, but it isn't open for signups for an indefinite time." That was it, weblogs.us. However, because I asked nicely, they were nice to me -- I got an exclusive early signup. :P <a href="http://lionel.weblogs.us" rel="nofollow">And here's the product.</a> TedFox: to have MT, officially speaking… THAT needs money. you need to pay for a MT liscence. Yeah, that's the reason weblogs.us is no longer fully supporting MT usage. Dang. I like MT because it allows an experienced user like me to completely customize my blog head to toe. All that power in my hands!!! Wahhh!!! (I admit I didn't do much because I was lazy..) Other things I don't like about WP are: - no simple export/backup function! - it messes with my writing! It does! It changes plain quotes into smart quotes and triple dots into ellipses... aarghh. I hate it. - no simple export/backup function! Important! But I think I'll give in. Even <a href="http://www.sashiweb.com" rel="nofollow">Sashi</a> gave in (although <a href="http://www.kennysia.com" rel="nofollow">kennysia</a> and <a href="http://www.itchyhands.com" rel="nofollow">itchyhands</a>, many others perhaps, haven't). I better start learning the ropes to get my manic customization back. Man... dinghy "lionel.minishorts.com": Very funny. :) minishorts: Ooo, I disappear so you forget about me lah.

Nope, there's a completely free license for Movable Type. And 3.2 has better spam protection (including a junk folder) than anything out there. “BUT. to have MT, officially speaking… THAT needs money. you need to pay for a MT liscence.”
