Designed to help deliver an experience that's as informative as it is fun, Downtown blurs the line between blogs and more fully-featured online media experiences. Very simply, Downtown helps users do more things with content they find interesting and helpful: subscribe to it, bookmark it, talk with others about it, effect that conversation and find out more about the people they're talking to.
In addition to publishing, blogging software makes it possible for individuals to build community, conversation, and utility. Downtown's goal is to help local audiences do the same thing.
Six Apart's Movable Type is our content management system because, quite simply, it's the best designed personal online publishing tool available--because it's the blogging and content management platform of choice for professional bloggers and medium and small businesses.
Media Temple's Dedicated-Virtual server is a second generation dedicated server solution that delivers advanced computing resources controlled via the Plesk GUI environment. Dedicated-Virtual server allows us to install custom applications (downtown) and software (Movable Type), and configure the server at will.
