Journalist Christopher Allbritton is starting an independent weblog on the Iraqi war. He will update his weblog via satellite phone and laptop. Read more, or visit his site.
The results can be found here. Movable Type has been voted the ‘Best Application for Weblogs’. Whoopee!

I’ve just set up another MT weblog for my dear pal and namesake, Van Heng. It’s quite easy, really, setting up Movable Type. I think I’ve gotten to the stage where I can set up a mySQL database, configure and upload everything in less than half an hour – where most of the time is …
