Movable Type looks like the best choice for CMS for grayblog. I’ll need to keep BloggerPro going for my other blogs (not least the news page at croftway.co.uk). It offers several features that BloggerPro doesn’t. Comments from current MT users welcome, especially those who have imported a blog from BloggerPro.

To celebrate the fact that it is two months old today, I’ve added six excellent new tracks to radio grayblog and also brought the playlist up-to-date.
It is gratifying to note that quite a few people are listening, too.

Do you agree with this
Do you agree with this article? I don’t, at least not entirely.
Blogging, and any form of personal publishing, tends to be filled with a lot of reactionary and knee-jerk (or just jerk!) opinion. It is probably true to say that, in the wake of the September 11th attacks, much blogging in the US took a more right wing view – warblogging is/was largely but not exclusively dominated by views and opinions that strongly echoed the views of the right-wing US president.
But I’m not sure that it is reasonable to say that blogging generally is dominated by the right. And I certainly don’t believe that to be the case in the UK. In fact, I think the opposite is probably true – blogging here is dominated more by centrist and left-wing opinion.
I must rush to say that this is only a perception, however, and is not based on any sort of analysis of blogs at large. It would be useful for this debate if someone, or several someones, could undertake some sort of analysis of the politics (or apolitics) of bloggers at large.
Ultimately, it is most advantageous if as broad a spectrum of opinion as possible is represented in blogdom, just as that is desirable (if not always achieved) in other media. And it would do us all well to remember that articles in blogs, as much as in most other media, are usually entirely, or at least influenced by, the opinion of a single author, and shouldn’t really be treated as fact or gospel.

I have an uncontrollable urge
I have an uncontrollable urge to go home and go back to bed. At the weekend, with colder nights now upon us (although it has been mild since then), I swapped EvilDuvet II for EvilDuvet (which is slightly heavier). It has to be said that EvilDuvet is much more evil than EvilDuvet II, and can exert stay-in-bed power over me even seven hours after I got up.

Hmm. Not much of a start at all to Wednesday.
Anyway, in other news, more rain overnight. Not much, but a little.

Purple rain cocktails tonight with Arron, Nathan, Kearn and DA, with sightings of Nikki and Guy. Good fun.
And, at last, some rain. Albeit very light, but rain nonetheless.
