Moved to Wordpress
After lingering in my todo list for quite some time I finally got around to the task of migrating my blog from Movable Type to Wordpress. I considered using Drupal since we are using it for other sites but after some consideration and looking at Wordpress I decided it was a better solution for my personal blog which will most likely not have a lot of non-blog content.
The process was pretty straight forward, I followed these instructions and I had it up and running in less than an hour. After some tweaking trying to get a working solution for URL redirects, I ended up just forwarding the top 10 incoming links. Hopefully I’ll get around to sort out the rest of the links soon.
So far I’m very impressed with Wordpress though I would like to see a way to install plugins and themes from inside the admin UI. The best would be to get a list of plugins to browse and just click install, second best would be the possibility of pointing to a local .zip and upload/unpack it from the admin UI without having to transfer it manually to the server and then log in and unpack it in the right place.
