Security plugins updated
This week I updated all three WordPress security plugins – install and uninstall functions were added, the user interface and code was cleaned up. I hope to make them smarter over the coming few months.

Movable Type Blogging Software goes open source
Movable Type Blogging Software Blog ( Downloads and other specifics at this site. )
Movable Type Blogging software has been around as long as blogging. It is used by many of the bigger name blogs you know and love.
Movable Type can import your WordPress or Blogger blog.
Those who have been using Movable Type love it. I haven’t tried it. I have noticed many reports of bloggers leaving Movable Type for WordPress. While WordPress needs only PHP and MySQL which you will find installed on just about every webserver, Movable Type also needs some Perl which may or may not already be installed on your webserver. Most Apache webservers will have everything you need for Movable Type and WordPress.
If you are ready to move from Blogger, consider both WordPress and Movable Type.
