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:

- 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.
