I’m too damn excited for words. Thank you, Six Apart!; this has been a long time in coming:

Okay, those of you who’ve been using Movable Type for a while are thinking, “It’s not that easy - setting up a Movable Type configuration file is a pain in the butt.” Well, we’ve got some good news. In the next few days we will release an update to Movable Type that shows off a feature we’ve had in the platform for a while: The Setup and Installation Wizard.

I’m drooling. Please continue:

Just like a setup wizard for a program on your own computer, the Movable Type Setup Wizard helps you configure the platform on your web server. It asks you a few questions (you probably got most of the answers from your web host when the server was set up) and then takes care of the rest. It makes installing Movable Type downright tolerable!

And of course, this means no more whining from me. I see before me a new horizon :)

Actually, there shouldn’t even be a post-comments-made page. I was revamping my comments page and I think I changed the form around slightly. This is why your comment went straight to my junk section instead of to the entry itself, and why I missed out on quite a few comments I’ve had in the past few days.

And I think I’m going to run another installation of MT somewhere on my server just to see if the “wizard” is worth it. I’m hyped :)
