Hello
I have used WordPress and WordPress Mu quite a lot and wonder what people can tell me about the two in comparison, with regard to the new MTOS.
I know enough php to do simple tasks of adding a bit of code here and there, but nothing of Perl. Are you likely to need to know anything during normal running of a site?
Ideally, I would like to be able to use MTOS where there would be an open blog area (more than one author) for each country, so about 200. Added to that, other closed areas for both news items and blogs, with open commenting.
I have no 'affiliation' or hard attitudes to any system. Mu is nice because it gives subdomains - does MTOS?
I think http://guardian.co.uk uses MoveableType, at least for the blogs, so I am not in doubt of its ability to handle large sites, just whether there would be a steep learning curve in moving from WordPress (no data importing needed) and what people would say makes MTOS stand out as something worth learning anew compared with sticking with what I am used to.
Many thanks.
Best wishes.

PS Strange that now almost 60 people have looked at this and although I said I had no allegiance to WordPress, nobody can come up with a killer or even good reason to use MoveableType instead of what must be seen as its nearest competitor.

I, too, would be interested if MT4 supports subdomains, too. I think it would, or at least could work, but I image I'd have to manually add the subdomains through my domain admin control panel. But it looks like you can install blogs in whatever subdirectory you want in your web folder?

Yes. As long as your hosting account user(since MT will run "as" you) can write to the location, you can publish there.
