A ways back, Six Apart promised that it would open source MovableType , their flagship software product, and the software that underlies their TypePad service.

These are two fairly small, fairly low-profile services (although SoapBlox is considered an extremely important part of the progressive blogosphere.)

I'm not a techy, so I use typepad. Typepad has integrated widgets into the blogging platform, so adding a widget is even easier than cut and paste! I went through the typepad collection and installed (unstalled) a lot of them because, to be honest, some did not hold promise for a nonprofit org blog. It's one click!
