Something happened with Movable Type on the pintglass server. I still don’t know what it was…could have been something that the webhost did. I dunno. But that left me with a choice: I could try to figure out the problem with MT, or I could move this blog to another piece of software. Since the blowup with MT happened, I’d kinda played with the idea of moving to different software. But I liked MT so much that I figured I’d stay on that old version until it either stopped working, or wasn’t able to provide the functionality I wanted. Until then, I didn’t want to deal with the extra work of figuring out new software. So MT promptly stopped working. 
For the most part, this post convinced me to move to WordPress, and educated me about GPL software. I’ve been happy enough with it, though I don’t like dealing with the new learning curve. WordPress does pretty much what MovableType did. It also does some cool stuff with RSS feeds… There is a ton of development action happening with WP, so I’m sure I’ll have plenty of things to play with.
