From MovableType to WordPress

October 1st, 2006 | Tags: , , ,

Through a few hours of work this weekend, I transferred the site to [WordPress][] from [MovableType][]. It’s not perfect (not that it was before I started the transformation), but hopefully it will be better.

Good Points:

* Integration with [TextMate][] blogging bundle (since I could not make the
* Initial install (and upgrades) are supported in a one click process by [DreamHost][]
* The management UI is laid out much better (possibly because only one weblog is supported)
* Plugins for almost everything

Bad Points:

* Multiple Installations–one for each blog that I am running
* The management UI is not as refined
* Uploads of pictures are much harder (and I will probably end up writing a tool on my end to make them happen).
* A good preview mode is lacking.

I’ll probably have more to say as I get into it a bit more. Let me know what you think.
