Goodbye MT, hello WordPress!

After almost 3 years on the Movable Type bandwagon, I’ve finally hopped off and switched to WordPress. It wasn’t a conscious decision – it just so happened that my new webhost offered a 1-click installation for WP, and after struggling to remember how to set up an MT blog, I said, “screw it!” and tried out WP.

I’ve been thrilled ever since. I’m going to have to do a little more tweaking to get everything behaving the way I want, but all in all, I’m quite happy. Setup was a breeze, I’m discovering more and more nifty plugins to expand WP’s extensibility, and I haven’t gotten a single spam message yet! So far, it feels like a happy medium between something as easy-to-use like Blogger and something as complicated and powerful as Movable Type.

Hopefully, this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. =)
