How I Use Movable Type

| | Comments (3) | TrackBacks (0)

For this blog, I use one author and one weblog. I have also installed Movable Type for friends and family, usually on their own servers. Also, I'm a freelance web designer and all of my clients are either individuals or non-profits.

From the beginning, I've been confused about what constitutes a commercial site, understanding it to mean any site that I get paid to design. So, does that mean if someone pays/donates $5 to me for setting up their MT installation that I have to pay for a commercial license? Maybe there could be an "Web Designer/Developer for Individuals/Small Businesses/Non-profits" license that I could buy to offer my clients this service in a way that's fair to Six Apart without breaking the bank (which, for a freelancer, is not a difficult thing to do).

That's my only issue; not a big one, really. Yeah, I'll probably start out with the free version (pending redesign) but I'm committed to buying a license when the coins start jinglin' ...

Oh, I know this might be covered by the Developer Contest, but I also want more photo stuff. It would be nice if I didn't have to create another weblog just to have a photolog and if there were photo-specific template tags. Oh, and it would be nice if TypeKey authenticated users could edit/delete their comments on my blog.

Oh yeah, and it would be GREAT if I could work for Six Apart in their East Coast offices! YEAH!

I thought a commercial site qualified as a site that made a profit from a service or product, like if someone is pushing their book or album…

I think it’s also against MovableType’s license to sell installations or to be an ISP who offers MovableType as a hosting feature.

That “commercial” label can be tricky.

At this point, I’m questiong my relationship with MT. I really like Ben & Mena but I don’t like the way this MT3 was developed/unveiled. I am hoping for some type of price-restructuring.
