CMS jitters
Posted on February 11, 2004 @ 14:00 in Sitestuff
If you blog, you probably know the feeling: after a while, the layout of your blog stops looking as crisp and appetizing as it did when you just finished it. It becomes harder to write fresh and funky posts, just because you know where they will end up. Luckily, that problem is relatively simple to solve: redesign.
It's more difficult when the content management system that you're using is starting to feel a bit old and used. It's what powers the site, it's what holds all your precious data. Don't get me wrong... I really like MT, but recently I discovered Wordpress. I've been reading the docs, toyed with the interface over at OpenSourceCMS, and ruminated about the possibilities of changing over because it looks fresh and full of possibilities. Some advanced features and plugins currently keep me from moving, but the simplicity of a pure PHP program and dynamic page generation remain a rather enticing proposition. Guess I have the CMS jitters. Anne recently moved from MT to WP and Shelley plans to move as well. Alpha testing of MT 3.0 is about or has just started, so maybe I should stick around for a little longer and see what future versions of MT, WP, and maybe other CMSes bring.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
