Nor will they need to go through the sometimes difficult processes required to install the Movable Type system on their server.</p> </blockquote> <p>Not only have they had a "major investment" from the firm run by Joi Ito, but they've just <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/press/six_apart_ltd_names_anil_dash_as_vi.shtml" title="Six Apart Ltd.
