The site’s been running it live since 1-5-03, but we were using it back in 2002 while the site was being developed. Everything on the site, other than the job listings are powered by Movable Type. We’re using the stock system with a few plug-ins from within the community….no trackbacks or comments systems, though.
The budget for the site, aside from my salary, was $0. So we had to use something cheap and easy to use. I actually tried Nucleus, but decided to use MT based on my personal use of it and it’s ability to handle customization better….plus static pages and nice URLs.
I have looked at Open Source CMSs like Mambo and Typo3, this handles everything without problems.
I hide the .html (imperfectly) with mod_rewrite and using the above instead of <MTEntryPermalink>, but Mark Pilgrim’s solution should work better if you can use it.

Mark, how are you doing the /year/month/day_title archive URLs in Movable Type?

My Archive File Template for Individual Archives is:
<$MTArchiveDate format="%Y/%m/%d"$>_<$MTEntryTitle dirify="1"$>.htmlI hide the .html (imperfectly) with mod_rewrite and using the above instead of

The Archive File Template is under Weblog Config then “Archiving” in the bar across the top, if you haven’t seen that at all yet. :)
