Movable Type has two different models — a free, open-source model and a paid version that users download, like WordPress, but that also offers built-in support base. For nonprofits, Griffey said having that extra bit of support can come in handy.
Griffey also recommended organizations use FeedBurner to provide their RSS feeds. All blog platforms provide an RSS feed for readers to push into their own aggregators (readers), but FeedBurner mediates the RSS feed and provides statistics. So organizations plug their RSS feed into FeedBurner, and it spits out an RSS feed URL to give to constituents. Then FeedBurner gives you statistics like clickthroughs on your feed. It's a great way to measure results on blog posts.
