Re: Movable Type
"I am told that Movable Type is not decentralized."
I'm not sure what you're meaning by "decentralized". Movable Type runs on your webserver, not on the desktop (at least not mine - I imagine one could install all the Perl modules on one's own machine, but I can't tell you why). Access to your site is via a web interface. So yes, if your hosting service goes down, you are unable to access your site. But you rely only on the service that you already pay for: the hosting. Movable Type's own servers can go down all they like, but the scripts all run locally. Finally, MT is free for the downloading. That's about as non-central as they come.
