WordPress

I’d been avoiding WordPress because I tried it out a while back and found it rather unpolished compared to Movable Type. I’ve been using MT for years, and though I’m not the most prolific blogger I have managed to run the full gamut of emotion over MT. I used to think it was totally the cat’s pajamas, but the last few times I have tried to use it I have ended up tearing my hair out over bugs and idiosyncrasies. I couldn’t get even simple unordered lists to work in the Markdown editor, I can’t get any of the supposedly “universal” themes to work from The Style Contest… it was just getting ridiculous. I feel like Six Apart has completely abandoned MT. I mean, they have only a smattering of employees, yet they own MT, TypePad, Vox, LiveJournal… it’s ridiculous. Anyway, I am fairly pleased at how much nicer WordPress seems this time around. Even though I don’t always agree with Matt Mullenweg and I hear the WP codebase is kind of a pile, I am officially giving up on MT. For the time being.
