MovableType.com - Web publishing platform

Jump on into MovableType and get waist-deep in codes as you build your personal website. It´s not just a cut-and-dry web development tool, it´s like a friend who guides you through the process. After the quick installation process, you can use this publishing platform to design a site from scratch, selecting the design from default templates and themes, or importing blog content directly from another blog platform. With their web editor you can upload text, audio, photos, and files to your site. MovableType has great site management tools: dynamic graphic displays reveal what´s happening with your blogs, which content and which contributors are prompting conversations, and provides smart starting points for you to manage your site. You can build your site with options for reader comments, which you moderate. The service is free for non-professional use. Aside from that, a one-year support agreement comes at $49.95.

MovableType is full of features and simple enough for those who are less web-savvy to take advantage of what it has to offer.

What about allowing professional sites to go up for a price?
