A first beta of Textpattern has been released. If MovableType 2.6 and Brad Choate’s MT-Textile hadn’t been released already, I’d be more eager to try it, but I think I’ll stick to MT yet for a while.
I will give Textpattern a spin, though. Apart from Textile, it generates dynamic content, which has been my biggest gripe with MT. It’s not fun to rebuild pages every time you change a small detail.
But now I think I’ll vacuum instead of using Textpattern as an excuse for more slacking off in front of the ‘puter.
(Later) Well, couldn’t resist a quick peek at Textpattern. It’s huge. And not much I can do with it without some documentation, of which there is none at the moment. And MT-Textile still has that extremely annoying bug where the regexps miss items if they begin or end a paragraph.
(Ten minutes later) OK, MT-Textile 1.1 is out. Now I can stop whining.
