I ran across your input regarding WP being used as a cms tool and I agree with you. I'm interested to get your thoughts on using Movable Type as a CMS.

Getting off topic for Elle (who I hope has had enough ideas now to help
with the decision), I'm going to add some comments about Wordpress.

Worpdress is highly configurable and can handle large, busy blogs. BUT none
of the freely available caching plugins is worth bothering with. If you want
decent caching, you have to write your own. I like Wordpress for some uses,
and use it as a CMS BUT would never want to manage thousands of articles
with it simply because of the lack of structure in the backend. In that
regard, it really shows itself to be a blog, not a system designed for
managing content.
Like everything, its a matter of choosing the tool best suited for the job
in hand.

Lynne

The import scripts I'm using do correctly place the data. It's just the output
