Moving to WordPress

March 19th, 2005

I have found that MovableType is limiting so I am strongly considering a move to WordPress. The conversion process is not hard and I did it a while back after I read how Vinny liked it. I have kept my eye on it and saw that in the latest release there is direct support for Podcasting. I still do not like PHP and I seem to have a performance issue with how it is running on my server, but I feel the interface is better and it has more feauture that I want, for free.

And recently I set up a site to run WordPress so that I can let anyone publish content so I do not have edit all of the HTML directly. What I have found is that the URLs are much more readable. When I view the stats on my website I can see the most viewed pages but they are by number. With WordPress it uses the title of your entry to form the URL. And then when you view the stats it is actually readable.

As yet I have not see how I can do podcasting with WordPress. It claimed support but it may be a plugin I need to find and install.
