Though Wordpress is a popular blogging application, there are many others out there that are being used by a vast majority to quench their blogging thirst. This post is all about what to use when it comes to a blogging platform. Typepad or Moveable Type. Both applications have been created by the team at Six Apart but with a major difference. Moveable Type is an application which is licensed to run on your own server and Typepad is a fee-based hosted service.
