[I was thinking about changing the tagline to "the blog that mentions Glenn Reynolds more than InstaPundit" -- any thoughts on that idea?]

HERE'S A NIFTY MOVABLE TYPE TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS. If nothing else, it should reduce the apprehensiveness of people who are thinking of switching from Blogger
I had ranted about the fact that there was a very good site about installing Grey Matter but nothing similar for installing Moveable Type when I intially became a MT devotee. I thought maybe someone had seen my message and used their talents to finally do so, but alas, a check of the supposed tutorial states this in its instructions on how to install MT:
To install MT, follow their installation instructions or for $40 (payable via PayPal), MT will install the program for you [*](for non-profit personal sites). Various language packs are also available. [neither footnote nor footnote marker is part of original post]
You know, it might have taken me 3 days to figure out how to successfully install MT, but I did it ... reading the instructions that were provided by MT.
*At one point in my frustration at installing MT, I contemplated paying the fee to have it installed for me, but but was sure that the $40 price only applied to large market areas where their technicians probably lived. Since I live way out in the country**, I could not imagine that one of them would drive all the way here to install the program on my computer for $40. It literally just dawned on me when I pasted that post in this entry that since it was on my server, they could have installed the program from any system connected to the internet, provided they had the correct information to access files on the server. I do feel a bit dense at times! DOH!
**In an effort to be as truthful as possible, I do not literally "live way out in the country." I live in a small town that is "way out in the country."
