I've just moved this site from Wordpress over to the latest build of Movable Type 4.1, using the new Universal Templates.
I've also decided to retire my old blog - scalefree, and have imported all the content across to here - I'll be redirecting everything from scalefree shortly.
MT4.1 really rocks - and the new template set mechanism will allow for Wordpress-like easy styling - and enabled me to get this complete site up and running in a couple of hours.
Contact me if you want more information, or if you'd like a site like this for yourself !

Anu - welcome (back?) to Movable Type! It is great to hear you like MT4.1. Music to my ears.
MT 4.1 I think is the beginning of something big. It is great to see the community galvanizing around template sets, or "themes" to use WP parlance.
One of the things that I think will set us apart from WP is how we have architected MT to differentiate between the structure and aesthetic of a web site. For example, the Universal Template set defines first and foremost a behavior and HTML structure for a web site - on top of which you can layer any number of styles from Style Catcher. It will be great to see how people customize UTS over time. My personal website is a variant of UTS for example.
Thanks Byrne - it's good to be back :) Great work on MT4.1 and also MT Open Source - I'm looking forward to some exciting times ahead for blogging platforms.
