I finally made the move and migrated my main blog from Wordpress to MovableType.
It's still using a more or less default set of templates, but I'll be working on customising it over the next few days.

Licensing is one of the main reasons I'm not going down that route. Be interested to see your results!
There aren't any licensing issues .....
They're also releasing an open source version later this year as well
For the free version ...Download for Personal Use
Since the original release in 2001, Movable Type Personal has been downloaded by millions of users and has set the standard for powerful personal blogging. Download the free version of Movable Type for personal, non-commercial use.
If you place adverts on your website ... wouldn't this constitute commercial usage ? I like to think this way until someone clears things up for me![]()
Do I qualify for a free Personal license?
If you're an individual with blogs that do not directly support a commercial endeavor, you are eligible for a free Personal license. (Incidental revenue such as Google AdSense, Amazon Associates fees, PayPal tip jars, or other similar programs which aren't the main purpose of the site are permitted under the Personal license.)
from their info ... just had to check it out for myself
I wanted to use MovableType for my freelance site going live next month but that would almost certainly constitute commercial use so I'm stuck with WordPress. Right?
