I am hoping someone decides to pipe in on this one. Preferably someone who has used BOTH Movable Type and Wordpress. Both are good blogging engines, one is opensource, one was, or something like that. Either way, I am thinking of switching this blog, and future blogs to use Wordpress. Why?

First off, it seem the grass is always greener on the other side. Everything Wordpress is doing seems to be done right. As I am fairly new to the blogging game, I am not sure what it was Movable Type did to piss so many people off, but something isn’t quite right. Last time I felt like I was on the wrong side of the fence, I switched to Firefox, wait no, it was to Apple. I’m getting the itch again.

There have been plenty of rantings I have seen dissing Movable Type, yet I have not seen one dissing Wordpress. It seems Wordpress gets the same kind of love us Firefox users have for our favorite browser. There is a huge community out there blogging about how great their platform is. When I switched to Firefox I high fived everyone and said, wow you were all right. When I switched to Apple, I did the same thing, and then some. So why not go for the hat trick?

As of right now I am saying fuck it. I’m switching to Wordpress.

A post that eludes me led to my train of thought, as well as Movable Type 3.33. They implemented a tag feature that is way worse than the plugin that previously accomplished the same thing. It irked me to the point that I started getting curious.

Look for additional thoughts and do please leave me yours.

Cheers.
