We're using WordPress MU at http://mymuseumoflondon.org.uk/blogs/ and I've used Blogger and MovableType for various other blogs, and I'd say WordPress is probably the most useful package. cheers, Mia -----Original Message----- From: Museums Computer Group on behalf of Tehmina Goskar Sent: Thu 10/04/2008 4:21 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Quick blog Oh the choices... my only reason to try something different is just that.
