Moving to Moveable Type


I am moving my blog to not only a new server but also some new software. I didn't want to have to rely on Bigpond (rely ... Bigpond ...HAH) anymore and I guess in their defence, they aren't are hosting service. Anyway I am hooked up to Host Gator for aboot $15 US a month and it comes with all these nice features. Jen and I will be using the email heaps and the lphpnl.com is in the process of propagating over here as well.


So why did I stop using Roller Weblogger? Well the main reason was that it required some config of JDBC Realms for user auth and the hosting service doesn't allow that. But also the version I was running had issues with IE. It's prob fixed now, but I really like the admin interface to this Moveable Type. It stores you're entries in a MySQL DB and then publishes them into HTML which actually works REALLY well. All I need now is some way to get off this default theme. I saw some around, but you have to pay for them. Anyone know of any Moveable Type free themes?
