* there’s some personality in the writing

Yes, it’s free.

For as many authors as you want, as many blogs as you want, you can just go get it. As always, you can have affiliate links or AdSense or a tip jar on your personal blog. And there’s dozens of new capabilities in Movable Type 3.3 that make it well worth the upgrade, including support for tags, widgets, huge improvements to the templating language, and activity feeds that let you manage all of your blog’s activity right from a single feed.

Eventhough its free, you will get no pro support from MovableType, if you do like get one it will only cost you $49.95. Cheap!

We’re really excited about a new navigation scheme that we’re launching this month. It’s called Horizon, and the goal of it is to make finding things in LJ a whole lot easier.

And now for the part where we try to anticipate your questions:

Wait, what’s a site scheme?
It’s the menus, design and layout of the header that appears on all the site pages.

Hmm, why redesign it?
Our existing site schemes were starting to feel the pressure of time — we’ve added a lot of features since we designed them, and it was getting difficult to shoehorn those features into the various menus. The Horizon scheme is designed to be expandable over time, as we add new features.
