About a decade or so ago, Six Apart’s Movable Type blogging tool was all the rage. Ben and Mena Trott were internet rock stars.

What happened? It looks like the company (Six Apart) is now owned by a Japanese firm.

And WordPress is all the rage for blog/CMS installs (today).

I never really thought about it until I saw an ad for Movable Type on some tech site.

I did a local install of Movable Type on one of my Linux boxes years ago; slick program. Perl.

WordPress is PHP, which is the hot blogging/CMS language right now (good for me – I know some Perl, but I’m a PHP developer).

Still, Movable Type and Ben/Mena just dropped off the face of the earth.

Just sayin’/askin’…
