Killer Cars will be upgrading soon
December 21st, 2006 by Sarin
Eventually it would happen sooner or later, in this case later than I expected. The software running my blog will soon be upgraded from Movable Type to Wordpress. Couple of reasons:
Movable Type is fairly outdated and has gone the way of the fax machine since the licensing system. New plugins are few and far between, rebuilding entire websites is cumbersome, and the amount of comment spam shows that this is an aging workhorse. Time to say bye bye. Wordpress however is open source, free and will always be in development. Wordpress is a child of the Web 2.0 generation, and the amount of users backing it up and making it great is encouraging me to jump ship.
More importantly, Wordpress seems to have taken personal web design to a whole new level. I’ve tinkered my layout by hand to my liking, but Wordpress has made it simple to change the look of your entire site with several clicks of a button. A Google search for ‘Wordpress Themes‘ gives you entire depositories dedicated to the art CSS and user friendly design. I will never have to worry about my site looking dull.
Wordpress is made to be entirely simple. And folks, I’m hoping this simplicity will cause me to blog more.
If you subscribed to my feedburner link, do nothing, I will update my feedburner settings accordingly. For those who are using the other site feeds, please switch over to the feedburner feed right now so the move won’t affect your RSS reader. If not, just come to this site in the next few days and grab the new RSS feed, whatever it may be.
