The public release of Movable Type is around the corner. We have completed the first phase of beta testing, and we will be entering the second beta phase soon. The first public version of Movable Type will be released on Monday, October 8, 2001.
We have to admit that we fell a bit behind with the development of the system. We actually forced ourselves to take a week off in order to deal with the events of the eleventh. While we did come to the conclusion that most things -- including a weblogging content management system -- are a bit trivial, we realized that we needed to go back to the metaphorical mines in order to regain some sort of normalcy in our daily routine.

A big thanks goes out to all those who linked to MOVABLE TYPE and made us #2 over at Blogdex. The response has been great and we're even more motivated to release a quality product.
Additionally, thanks to all of you who have signed up to beta-test!
If you haven't heard from us yet, please be patient. We're in the process of developing a list of questions concerning your experience with weblogging applications and weblogging in general. This way, we'll be able to accurately gauge any issues or concerns that arise once official testing begins.
In the meantime, keep sending in feature requests and comments.
You've found MOVABLE TYPE. What started as a pet personal project has grown into something that we decided to release upon the weblogging masses.
I know, you're probably saying "not another weblogging management system."
Hopefully some of our features will make this seem as exciting to you as it does to us. But, really, maybe we're just excited because it's our project.
Movable Type is
a Six Apart Product
