Anyone here experienced in installing this bad boy?

I'm looking to install it on my server as a CMS for product reviews and whatnot.

Let me know if anyone can lend a hand..

ps-the main page on my site is moveabletype!

Well. I'm not neccessarily stuck on anything.

Just not from a programming background and wanted to have someone walk me through a setup or something.

I finally got everything installed. Just a matter of learning about templates. Shouldn't be too hard.

This script is amazing actually. VEry powerful..

Hi,

hmmmm... you missed the gallery?

that does bring up a good point to me that i really don't have anything on my main page to let the visitor know why they should stay.

thanks CmdrLaForge

i'm wondering if your site is *supposed* to display about 400 pixels wide

On a related note, for those of you (us) who would like to use Movable Type but aren't so technically inclined, there is TypePad (http://www.typepad.com). It's a service run by the people who created Movable Type which lets you create and run a Movable Type site with a minimum of technical knowledge. Set up is very simple yet quite flexible. Plans start at $4.95 per month.

I signed up for the 30-day free trial a few days ago, and am really impressed with it.

As an example, Mac Mike runs his site on TypePad.

OK. I get it. Your site is about the gallery ? Right ? Just to be sure...

And what is the gallery good for ? For nice wallpapers ?

It took me about a day or so to familiarize myself with MoveableType and after that it's so easy. It's extremely customizable and easy to work with.

I enter my entries online, I find it easier that way.

Just check my link below.
