MT is the premier multi-user weblog software created by the husband/wife team of Benjamin Trott and Mena G. Trott. Teledynamics offers the following MT support services:

Weblog Strategy Planning:

Let us help you evaluate MoveableType (and most other weblog software). TCI has been blogging for years (although we didn't call it that) and has been deploying MT sites since mid-2002. Maybe MT is perfect for you, maybe it's not; we can help you decide.

Installation:

MT runs on any web server equiped with a Perl interpreter. Basic servers can be up and running in less than a day. Contact us for an estimate

Hosting:

MoveableType is pretty lightweight and can be run on many standard webhosting accounts (if they allow CGI scripts) but that may be more investment than you'd like; TCI can webhost your blog for you, either as part of another MT installation or as your own gaggle of bloggers. We can manage the technical side and let you get on with filling the web with your content. This option is perfect for musicians, real estate agents or anyone else with a topical message that fits a basic webjournal format. Contact us for an estimate

User Interaction Design:

There's an old joke that goes, "A man walks into a book store and asks where he can find the 'self help' books. The clerk replies, 'I could tell you, but that would defeat the purpose!' Yes, we can help you design your user experience and code your stylesheets, but unless it's a strictly business blog, it's better if it speaks for you. People want to see you, not us. Honest.

Custom Programming:

Because it's fully modular, MT fits most needs as is or at most needs to pull in one of the many 3rd-party modules (such as the Amazon Webservices). If your weblog has special requirements, we do provide custom software engineering for MT modules.

Although Gary and May both use MT for their personal weblogs, TCI is not bound to this product by any exclusive arrangement; we don't speak for MT, they don't speak for us; if it doesn't fit your needs, we'll be the first to tell you.

TCI is also deeply involved in Apache Jetspeed and Drupal, and we have experience with WebSphere (Struts), Oracle WebServer, b3, PHPNuke, PHPSlash, XPC, Zope, 22/XHoo, and GeekLog; if there's a portal in your plans, chances are we've been there.
