This is my newest venture on the web. This is an update to my older site, which I took offline today. The Geek's Nook is updated daily with Tech News every morning, and Free File Reviews, System Tweaks, etc. What do you think?

What license

[Mitch-old]

Personal, since that is what it is, a personal site. At least I think.....Why do you ask?

I left MT when they went to 3.0.  IMO, they were very deceptive when moving to 3.0 but thats a whole other story.  Anyways, I agree that your site is personal in nature, but I remember reading discussion that if you're selling ads on your site if that really qualified under the Personal license.  Since you have GoogleAds I think its something to look into.

And there's always WordPress which is an excellant alternative that is and always will be free.

I was looking at that, and it said that google ads are accepted....Since my primary purpose is not a business, i THINK it is ok...They can yell at me if they don't like it.

Well that's good to know.  I was already gone from MT when that discussion started and it just kinda set me over the top.

If they yell at ya, just move to WordPress, its nice.

[Mitch-old]

Yeah, i will. IF they don't want me using and promoting their software that is fine by me.

If you're going to have a website like this, I can reccomend you VirtuaNews, it's really wicked. It has user registration system, polls, articles, new posting, news icons, additional modules and much more. You can get VirtuaNews for $60. Check their website for more details:

I don't really need all of that stuff....if I wanted that I COULD (not saying I would) use one of the Nuke scripts....Maybe...MT Is working out so far. I appreciate the advice though.

Great use of Movable Type, Might I suggest a look at WordPress? I am an ex-user of Movable Type and loving every bit of WordPress
