Goodbye Movabletype… Hello Wordpress
brettdriscoll.com is now powered by Wordpress. I decided to change blogging platforms after being with Movabletype for almost a year. Reasons for switching are :
- Wordpress is totally Open source (meaning its totally free for one, and its built and modded by everyday web geeks like myself)
- You don’t have to rebuild the website everytime you make a change like you do in movabletype
- Wordpress allows you to switch themes on the fly in a matter of seconds
- There are more themes for Wordpress
Those are just some of the reasons for my sudden switch to Wordpress. I still run a few sites that are powered by Movabletype, and still feel Movabletype is a great blogging tool, but for my personal blog I feel Wordpress suits me better. All of my old posts from brettdriscoll.com movabletype version have been imported into Wordpress (which was actually quite painless). I have been going through the categories and trying to layout a better category system to make it easier for you the user to find old posts. Over the next week or so, the site will be changing or evolving rapidly into what I hope to be a better brettdriscoll.com. For now though you will have to look at a tweaked version of the default Wordpress theme, until I can find or create one that I like.
Thanks for stopping by!
