I used textPattern and can say that I didnt really like it much. I think it was the template engine I wasn't really diggin. And the Admin interface I didn't really like either. But they were more like picky little items. Not major show stopper dont use this CMS type of thing. It does the job very well. Just a few things weren't to my liking. I think MT has a larger following than Text Pattern as well. That may be something to consider as well. Of course that could have changed since my dealings with it but I doubt it.

The one time I used MT I liked it. The one time I used Textpattern I didn't like it. So I would suggest MovableType over Textpattern.

thank you very much for the replies.
i really appreciate it.

i had installed both of them,
and i felt the MT interface is really nicer.

and i ll choose MT too.
hmm..but i hav no idea how it works very well,
right now i can only make a very simple blog (my ability) using the default templates.

i wanted to buy the reference books for learning MT, any idea which one to recommend?
i know there are a lot of documentation in internet, but i really prefer to have a book.

i went to some book store, hmm..but i cant find for it.
i search the internet, but no idea which one is better.
any idea?

once again, thank you very much.
