[WEB4LIB] RE: Moveable Type for Libraries

[Blake Carver]

I'm running a bit behind on my WEB4LIB reading, sorry to be so late on 
this one.
We host several library blogs on LISHost, 2 are using different 
authentication schemes, IP and login.
Movable Type, at least the old versions, are having HUGE problems with 
SPAM. There are nights when I need to kill off MT comments completely to 
keep the server from dying, it's that bad. I'm not sure how the newer 
versions are.
Lately I've been recommending WordPress, seems to be quite nice so far.

I think LISHost has about an equal split between WordPress and MT 
installs now.
