TimsNotes created with Movable Type

After a long search for the 'right' content management system, I finally opted for Movable Type 4 to create this site. Other contenders included Drupal, Expression Engine, MOD.x and WordPress. These were rejected for a variety of reasons - too complicated, too difficult to learn, unresponsive support/forums (or they did respond but they didn't answer the question asked!), or I just plain couldn't get them to work. MT nearly went into the bin for the last two reasons, but just when I was about to give up, after endless fiddling and trying different things it suddenly burst into life and saved itself.

The appeal of MT4 is it's state-of-the-art blogging features and it's ability to combine with stand-alone or static pages to create an integrated website with static content and blog content, all managed from the same CMS. How well it delivers on this, we'll find out over the next few weeks...
