Movable Type: Content management system first, blogging second
It’s common misconception that Movable Type is for blogging only. In truth, it’s a lightweight content management system (CMS) that’s primarily used for blogging. And out of the box, it is indeed configured for blogging, but that doesn’t stop an enterprising user from tailoring it to his CMS needs.
The “MT as CMS” idea was probably first cogently presented by Brad Choate, but the best post I’ve found on the subject is from Elizabeth Lane Lawley: mt as content management software. Because it took me far too long to find that page, I figured I’d blog it for your benefit and mine, should I ever need it again for future MT evangelism.
