If you noticed that Thursday’s post didn’t show up until just now, that’s because I’m using the beast known as MovableType publishing platform. I forgot to rebuild that post so it didn’t show up. Never could get a chron job to work properly with MT, but everything else works pretty decent.
Right now I’m working on a new project and toying around with the idea of switching to WordPress as a result. I’ve been using it to run our corporate intranet news site for over a year. What I really like are the static pages, in addition to having the ability to post in advance.
I’m reserving my final decision though, because MovableType just launched 3.2 beta. As soon as I update my site backup storage I’m gonna give it a try. They claim it’s the easiest update install ever and that it’ll blow every previous version away… We shall see!

I just moved over to WP from MT and I’m loving it! I love being able to password certain entries and not having to rebuild!

OH MY GOD… I want that three hours of my life back! Suffice it to say that the upgrade didn’t go well. Holy cow, that sucked.

I’m holding out for MT3.2 as well. I’ve about had it with the comment/trackback spam that i’m getting. My blacklist just doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. I hear that WP is able to successfully block that out. And like spoiled grrl, I’m wanting to be able to password protect my entries. MT better pull out all the stops this time or I’m out!

i’m still on mt 3.15 or whatever that plugin update was.
i’m a bit wary to move onto 3.2, but i’ll give it a go.
