Movable Type – blog, CMS and more
Movable Type is one of the many free open source scripts, which you can install using FreeHostia’s 1-script installer – the Elefante Installer. In less than 5 minutes you can get any of over 40 available scripts installed, directly from within your web hosting control panel. Movable Type is mainly a blogging platform, but it has extended functionality and may also be used for managing your entire web site.
Like WordPress, Movable Type allows you to create a customizable blog, create categories to post your articles in. In addition Movable Type has many CMS-like features, which would allow you to create an interactive personal or business web site. It also has rich social networking features and allows readers of your blog to register and become members, create their own profiles, comment on your blog posts and interact with other members in the integrated forum.
Movable Type works perfectly with each hosting plan offered by FreeHostia and it is available as a pre-installed script even with FreeHostia’s free hosting plan – the Chocolate plan.
Just like WordPress, Movable type allows you to create your own layout and customize the appearance of your web site to best suit your website’s genre and purpose. It has a very intuitive admin panel, which makes site administration an easy task even for beginners.
