Interesting, though her comment that Blogger has "no Permalink features" was news to me, and no doubt thousands of other bloggers. And I dispute the suggestion that Movable Type requires advanced web publishing skills.

At the time I wrote this my Blogger blog wasn't supporting Permalinks without digging through my archives.... when I switched templates it did :) With respect to the Movable Type comment ...

The point being - Joe PR person might be able to set up a Typepad or Blogger blog for a client project, but you probably need someone with some tech skills for the others especially if you want it to look like your corporate site.
