after the severe public backlash from movabletype weblog authors it seems that sixapart has decided to change their licencing/pricing scheme. they altered the sites and authors limitations in their various tiers to bring it more in line with their user-base. the change that effects me is that the low end personal edition now has 5 weblogs and 5 authors (up from 3 and 1) which brings it in line with my usage model. the pricing is still a bit high considering the feature set but i’m starting to think that i might give them a chance rather than jump. i’m going to look into it more and make sure that it fits my usage and make a decision from there. a few of the things i’m really looking for them to add are photo blogging, email posting support, and easier file uploading. time to think on it …
