What's the right software to maintain and display a calendar of relatively infrequent future events, as well as blog-like news postings? I maintain a website for specialists in my field of mathematics, and one section consists of announcements for upcoming and recent conferences. Another is for news announcements: a basic blog-style list of entries. Both are currently run by our 7-year-old Movable Type installation, in combination with a good bit of chewing gum and baling twine. I'd like to redesign the whole schmear, including the back end. Is wordpress (plus more gum and twine) the right solution? Is there some other system that makes more sense? [more inside]

I'd like to create a recipe blog that lets users search for recipes using faceted browsing. For instance, searching recipes by ingrediant, cooking time, etc. Is there a MoveableType-like solution I can use to easily create this site?

I want to set up my next blog similar to how Sploid! looked (www.sploid.com), or so that entries don't simply appear stacked, most recent first. Are there existing templates or codes available that could do this in Moveable Type, Word Press, or any other utility?
