That's why, after a fair amount of poking around, I've decided to go with
Moveable Type (http://moveabletype.org/) as my blogware with which to join
this latest craze in narcissism and self-indulgence. I found it
encouraging to read that it requires a whole slew of well-exercised,
mature CPAN modules. To me that means the developers are not reinventing
the proverbial wheel and compromising security, reliability, etc., in the
process.

(Oh yeah, I also used a little ad hominem non-reasoning: that Jeremy
Zawodny dude, who seems to know a lot of stuff judging from his writings,
really likes PHP, yet he uses MT.)
