There seems to be a lot of hoopla surrounding the release of Movable Type 3.0. I took a quick glance at the pricing structure and agree that it is way too pricey for my tastes, although they promise there will be a free version soon. I'm not going into panic mode just yet, because I'm perfectly happy with the version of MT I'm running now. I'm not one of these guys that upgrades for the sake of upgrading. Since installing MT, I've upgraded exactly twice. The first upgrade was to add the search feature, the second to comply with the minimum requirements for the MT Blacklist (anti-spam) plug-in.

Only the second upgrade was unplanned. Comment spam seemed to come from out of nowhere and adding the blacklist was necessary, and probably the best thing I ever did. Unless a similar situation arises where an upgrade seems necessary, I don't plan on upgrading any time soon.

For the rest of you, I guess you'll have to pay for MT 3.0, or hope they release a free version. You could also switch to another weblog software. Meanwhile, Ravenwood's Universe will be stuck in time, living off the old license.

Although, this guy pointed to this web host, which almost seems too good to be true. 500 meg for $6 a month. Decisions, decisions.
