The Artful Manager

Andrew Taylor on the business of arts & culture

A new content engine

March 22, 2005 by Andrew Taylor

Faithful readers will notice a whole new look to the weblog starting today. I’ve just switched from our old blog system to MovableType, the up-and-comer in the weblog world.
The new system will allow all sorts of new options and opportunities, but most of the benefits are under the hood…making this weblog more compatible with the growing blogosphere of search engines, shared links, and other doodads of minimal interest to most.
One handy new feature of the site is the ability for all of you to attach comments to each new post. Just click the ‘comments’ link where you see it, or fill out the form at the bottom of individual entries. To avoid comment spam, I’ll be moderating all comments before I post them.
There are bound to be bumps and bumbles in this transition…and busted links scattered here and there. I’ll try to track them down, and I’ll thank you in advance for your understanding.
In the meanwhile, let me know what you think of the new site. I’m eager to take it out for a spin.
