Note the new blog address. (Feel free to be lazy and not update links to the old one… it’ll automatically refresh to this one if you go to the old one. However you will want to update your RSS feed if you’re using a feed reader). It was just easier than trying to move a new blog into the old folder. Site re-design to come later– but at least comments don’t suck now! =)
I would love to do a photoblog type theme to facilitate larger images in entries, but that’ll take some work I think. I tried one theme out and while it did a good job– it also cut out any images beyond the first one, kinda ruined some posts. So we’ll use this theme for now…
Already love WordPress though. So much faster / snappier than Movable Type. That alone is more conducive to blogging… let me know if you have any problems using this site.

it’s all land o’ the rising sun up in here
wait, now it’s a plane. is this a trick?
It’s just the wordpress theme, it selects an image randomly… not even my images, just the default ones 😉
Ooo! Nice!
Wasn’t the WordPress jump so easy? Seriously, I wish I would have started the process a year ago and would have avoided all the MT issues that I’ve run into recently.
I’ve yet to completely switch over to WordPress, though. I imported all my entries and comments, but have yet to update the design or switch over all the URLs. I think that’s what I’ll do over President’s Day weekend. What fun! (that was sarcastic, BTW). 🙂
I’m crossing my fingers the re-design won’t be too painful. Movable Type 4.0 (though I really didn’t do much but tweak an existing design) was soooo weird because of the way they broke out all the elements into their own little pages of code, I got lost easily. And for all 4.0’s new features, the overall experience just got crappier with how slow it was. Oh well! Onwards and upwards, I like the WordPress teams philosophy on speed and simplicity (plus it’s popular enough to have lots of custom plug-ins and what not).
I hear ya on the plug-ins! I needed a contact form not too long ago and when I googled it, all the plug-ins I could find were WordPress based. I was all, “What the crap!? Does no one use Movable Type?” And with the slowdown in commenting and formatting issues, I think all the plug-in people were smart to focus on WordPress.
