Hi Barry

Thanks for answering many of my questions with this post. I am currently on Type Pad and considering switching to Word Press. My only concern is that I am a super novice when it comes to html? Hence, I am reluctant to switch? What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

James – thanks for that link. I guess 1400 blogs proves it can work!! However, how much control do you have as an administrator over each blog with Wordpress MU? That’s the only thing i’d be concerned about.

WPMU might not be in perfect shape but it still does a pretty good blog... if you want an example of how this can work for a network check out edublogs.org 1400+ and counting!

Anil – you’re right. MT would definitely have been on the list, however for the scale of what I’m doing here (30 plus users, eventually), its pricing structure was just too restrictive for me.

Scott – yep, I’d like to take a look at something like that, too.

I think we need a good, objective review of both MT and WP. Throw in Typepad for good measure if you want. The “ease of installation” and the possible security exposures of each should be considered. I have a feeling the results would be rather surprising.
