Rodent Regatta

After editorializing a bit about the announcement by Movable Type, it’s time to make some decisions in the next week or two. I’ve just spent about $1000 having some design work done on an upcoming commercial site. Coupled with the site you are reading and one other, I’m faced with three choices:

• Stay with MT 2.661 for $150 (I assume the old commercial license is still available for the old version)
• Upgrade to commercial MT 3.0 for $600 (I need more than 5 authors)
• Pay someone to help me migrate to another (open source/free) tool

These are not appetizing alternatives.
