I have been using Movable Type for a little while now, but I just wasn’t that happy with it. I didn’t really have any problems, but it just wasn’t for me. So I installed Wordpress in a separate folder to try it out.

I loved it. I decide to make the switch. Even though some things are broken right now, I should be able to fix them this weekend.

I think the main thing that got me to switch was the fact that Wordpress is written in PHP, which I can code; and Movable Type is written in Perl, which I have no clue how to code in. Just having the ability to go in and change code was reason enough for me to switch.

So don’t worry about the broken stuff, it will be fixed soon enough.

Yeah man, I love it. Hey maybe when they setup the LAMP server at work, they will give you a DB so you can setup Movable Type or something like that.

I would definitely recommend giving Wordpress a shot. I can see how people would use it as a mini-cms too. It’s great.

Haha, I’m watching Tommy Boy right now on HBO.
