Since I want to give this blog a new direction and host it under a different URL, I'm currently looking at the release candidate for Movable Type 4.2. I always found it a bit of a nuisance that the standard templates are not more modular (that there are predefiend modules for headers, footers, sidebar etc.). That's why I like the widget management (probably alrady a MT4 feature) and the new possibility of using Server-Side Includes for these widgets.

After importing the articles of this blog, publishing the complete site took 3:34 minutes (and that is already much faster than the MT3 version I'm using). After setting two, three widgets to use SSI, it took 1:28 minutes. That's impressive, and I believe there is even more room for improvement. Nice!
