I plan to make a RAID-1 array using two 80GB hd. This would mean some down time of cssa. :-( The benefit is higher availability in the event of a hd crash, so it's definitely worth it in the long run.
vacantarea suggests some alternatives for the currently deployed MovableType. WordPress and typo are among his picks. He is a seasoned blogger and I'd assume his preferences reflect what other bloggers might think. Would you write something about your mosted wanted features, vacantarea?
I looked at WordPress at one point. It's hot lately and offers some nice features. In terms of migration, WordPress is my top choice.
Drupal is a good and usually overlooked CMS. KernelTrap is powered by it. I'll play with it in the near future.
There are good free software choices. It's really a shame to stick to MT.
I've used wordpress for several days. It's great. Especially when you know how to take advantage of all kinds of plugins.
For me, no building, great archive, good search are important. wordpress is good enough (with help of several plugins). The theme thing in wordpress is great. The theme I'm using now (k2) integrate many great plugins in the code. you can just install the plugins and don't need to do any change in the code.
Bad thing about wordpress is it doesn't support multiblog. But it supports multiauthor well. So we can have a group blog which should be fun. Our department has one, you can have a look: http://dactyl.dartmouth.edu/wordpress/
