right on bro!

I paid for a Movable Type license a few years ago, but I switched to WordPress.   I’ve been running WP on another project for almost a year now, and I like it better, so here we are.  I’m using a theme from the ThemeViewer library now, but I’ll work on customizing my own.

Things that just made sense to switch:

• Akismet spam filter - I was getting hundreds of comment spams on MT and Akismet does a good job of just getting rid of most everything.
• Adding non-blog pages with the same theme is super easy.
• It seems like WordPress launches more features and fixes more quickly.
• Automatic Google sitemaps generation with the Google Sitemaps plugin.

The reason this came about today was that my server has been getting craptacularly slow, and I decided this morning to do something about it.  I rewrote some code on DealTuner (thanks Serge for your help) and just decided to swap over blog software while I was at it.

Enjoy!  You’ll be able to read my trash more quickly and with more stability now.
