And the word was press

Movable Type has never worked well on prolific.org. Whether it is the 7000+ entries, or its long history of Blogger/MT exports and imports, it’s just always been a sluggish installation. U2log.com runs on the same server (eite.pair.com), is almost as large and has few problems. I’ve run MT on other pair.com servers (peswar and wokkil) and they felt a lot faster. Maybe it’s prolific.org’s database that’s not working properly. I’m not tech-savvy enough to figure that out.

I’ve been toying with WordPress on another account and am impressed. Very easy installation (duh, one click install, a Dreamhost feature) and painless import. And that ‘no rebuilding’ thing is a cracker. I don’t think I’d run a site like U2log.com on it, but for a personal blog it should do.

Switch? Quite possibly. Maybe even on a new domain. After 5 years I am finally weary of being prolific.

It’d be the end of an institution! Do whatever you think would inspire you most, of course, but be wary of getting addicted to change-for-change’s-sake.

I’ve been using WordPress for a while, and I have to say that, especially since version 1.5 came out, I really love it. There are a few things that MT does that WP doesn’t and v.v., but I found WP much easier to install and get working well. smile just my little bias.
