I just tripped across movable type, and I think it has what I want in blog management system. With the redesign on the horizon, I smell convergence. things I'd love, if anyone has time to help:
anyone use movable type and have feedback on it? (I know it's not released yet)
anyone have time to help me build the css layout of the page? I'm really stuck.
I've come across several already released blog management systems, and the one that's getting most of the praise is PostNuke (at postnuke.org). They seem to have a rather large support base and so you shouldn't have too much trouble installing it. I don't use it myself, but perhaps you'd like it.
Why didn't you ask me for CSS help whilst I was there? I would have been happy to assist!
it is supposed to be out next week...
meir: is there a list with reviews of the blog management programs? I'm just leaning toward moveable type because it does everything i want and is in perl.

For specific features not found in greymatter default, you might find what you're looking for in the hacks/mods repository. But the larger picture is that Noah is not working on it anymore(4th question in faq). So perhaps a transition to moveable type is just the ticket - certainly has a great looking admin interface.
Nate: I do hang out on the greymattter message board (under the nom de plume Madam Sarrazin, for giggles) and many of the hack and mods I need are not available or stable. Of course we have yet to see what type will bring. And of course Noah's no longer working on it is some cause for concern...
Hope this helps.
the threat of a return to tables get you? thanks! I will play with it tonight. thank you!
Hey, you fixed the overlap problem!!! that was what was really chapping my hide. I can't wait to dig in deeper! thanks!
Tables? I couldn't let you go backwards, now, could I?!
There sure is a site with reviews. Those type of scripts are called CMSs (content management script) and you can find reviews of such scripts in all scripting languages in hotscripts.com - just search there for content management scripts under whatever programming language your host supports.
bump has listed this article about the new moveabletype, for those interested...
