I have had some success with it -- easy to install, customizable, easy to add RSS feeds to it, etc. (But I have not tried to use it on more than one computer.) I set them up with Geeklog, and they liked it a lot. But the mother ship made them switch to MT. They like that too, although now they no longer have the community forum posting function that they had in Geeklog. Here is their MT site: http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/CIS/blogs/mml-tech/ Unfortunately I don't have the Geeklog code they used anymore, but as you can see at the main Geeklog site, it is vaguely Slashdotty, open source, APIs are available, blah blah blah. The lamest thing about it, of course, is that they were forced to overlay the instituational header stuff, which I think is atrocious (esp. the Javascript, which doesn't follow accessibility standards and is annoying even for a sighted/abled user).

Your intent comes through nicely, not just a site for you to explain to the world what you know. I like the non pretentious nature of it and surprisingly, it's very interesting to read for a personal site. Kudos. I will check back to learn more... PS, I am not posting to one article, in fact I am commented on www.murraywilliams.com. I found the site through the crepe recipe. The batter is in the refrigerator now.
