So long Moveable Type

March 4th, 2005

The first step for me to start blogging again was to rid myself of “Moveable Type”:http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/. As you may have noticed, I’ve started that process and I’m now using the excellent “WordPress”:http://www.wordpress.org system, thanks to the recent 1.5 version upgrade.

Time will tell if this really is a good product for me. I’m still very worried about those bastard comment spammers. With that in mind, you must now register in order to post comments. Sorry about that, I really tried to avoid any type of registration system but it really has come to that. The old blog was getting upwards of 100 comment spams a day hence why “I turned off comments”:/wp/archives/2005/01/11/comments-disabled/ in January.

There will be broken links related to this move. I’ve working on getting a script of some sort to help reduce them amount of errors, but frankly, I don’t care enough to spend a lot of time on it. It took me long enough to get this new blog going, so I’m stopping for the night. Slowly but surely I’ll start moving the other blogs over to WordPress but I wanted to get the main site working as it’s been a long time coming.

Man, I have to admit, this really is a nice system. Very clean and well thought out. Tasty goodness and it feels good to be back.
