Why not use typepad? That way thy look after it all for you...
I'v set up a moveable type server before, and it took me less than an hour, with no real problems. If you are at all techie you can just follow the installation instructions.
Typepad looks cool, but it's a hosted option. I want what I'm planning behind a domain name of my choice, and that means MT.
And I am not at all techie. Not even in the slightest. I'm told there's something called a "Terminal" deep in the bowels of OX's Utilities folder but, frankly, I'm sacred of it.
Well, I suspect I could set it up for you. I seem to recall it was fairly easy.
However, you might be best off paying $40 for them to do it for you. That way you'd be assured that it was working properly, and they'd upgrade you for free if a new version came out within 30 days.
