WordPress
I’ve been having a close look at WordPress lately. I’ve grown pretty tired of all the constant rebuilding every time you change a slight detail in MovableType — WordPress, on the other hand, is fetched from the database on demand and displayed dynamically.
I’ve set up a test installation of WordPress and I’m satisfied with it. I’ll switch to it in a couple of days. It can import entries and comments from MT, but it doesn’t have proper support for Textile 2 input yet. I’ll wait with the import until then. Unfortunately, this will break pretty much every permalink on the site. Sorry, can’t be helped. I should be able to redirect via mod_rewrite once the old MT entries are imported.

What about Textile 2 doesn’t it support? Or rather: You do know that you can enable Textile support right?

Yeah, I enabled the Textile thingie. It turned everything into ass. It mangled list items, ignored links at random and put paragraph tags around existing paragraph tags.

I went from MT to wordpress, but a few days later dean allen released textpattern (textpattern.com) and I don’t think I’ll go back to anything else anytime soon…
