Movable Type is a blogging platform that supports multiple blogs, standalone page generation and a combination of dynamic and static generation. In 2002, Movable Type's publishers created the TrackBack feature commonly found on many blog publishing software today including Blogger and WordPress.
Customer Relations

Movable Type established a reputation for responding to its users in 2004, when it announced on its blog substantial, complicated changes to its software and licensing structure. Nearly 800 scathing comments were posted to the blog, all visible to the public via their TrackBack facility. Instead of shutting down the blog, Movable Type responded by posting a request for constructive criticism and information on how users were putting the software to work. Movable Type released revised licensing terms based on the user response.
