Ditto on the upgrading. I've considered moving to a hosted solution for

Have a look at Motion, http://movabletype.com/motion/ their newest (and
more *social*) offering.
Dig into the code, it's a great code base.
While on the subject, I found this interesting too:

I don't know about everyone else. I've been using MT for quite a while.
My biggest problem is that it works well enough that I forget to
upgrade.

Thanks for the confirmation, guys. I'm going to take the plunge.
I've spent the evening downloading and reading the documentation for
MovableType. I am relieved to learn that the RSS feed has been
reinstituted to release 4, and that release 4 now includes enclosures
for files external to the blog server. And I found an article on
creating a printer-friendly template.
Regrettably, there does not appear to be an O'Reilly book on MovableType.
