Here at Birdhouse, we heart WordPress, big time. We strongly recommend against Movable Type (any MT installations consuming unusual amounts of CPU will be suspended).

Some types of weblogs, including WordPress, can be set up with just a few clicks from your cPanel interface. However, we consider it essential to keep WordPress up to date as soon as new security updates become available. We have built a custom system to automate this process, so you’ll never need to think about upgrades. However, to take advantage of this system, we need to install WordPress for you.

Before installing WordPress on your own or via Fantastico, please contact us first - we’re happy to set it up for you.

For guidance on using your weblog after initial installation, see its documentation, or contact Birdhouse support (weblog consulting aside from initial setup will generally be charged on an hourly basis).

A great collection of WordPress themes can be found here, ready for installation into your wp-content/themes directory.
