Changing from Movabletype to WordPress
One Comment
So I have begrudgingly made the switch from movabletype to wordpress. What was my reasoning you ask?
Well:
1. 500 SERVER ERROR! this one really annoys me when I updated to the new version of movabletype I start to get these wierd server errors when ever I refreshed the site after one of those painfully long rebuilds, this also meant that neat ajax things like snap did not work.
2. Movable Type is seems to becoming less concerned with normal non-professional bloggers, and thats me.
3. The reload time for Movable Type is insane. I have been blogging since April of 05 and there are only 100 posts or so, but it can take over two minutes to rebuild the site.
Maybe that sounds petty but I was just getting way too annoyed with movable type to even consider wanting to stay with movable type after another design change.
Here are somethings I will miss about movabletype:
1. mass delete of posts
2. multiple blogs on one install (maybe wordpress can do this)
3. Some sweet plugins that are missing in wordpress
4. I will not be missing rebuild time!
