i do like the newest version of movable type. i just upgraded [url=http://jenny.ocliw.com/journal/]jenny[/url] to it and after looking around, i’m fairly impressed with the new comment handling stuff since version 2.64. i guess i’ve been a little lax in updating her software. but the upgrade path was actually REALLY easy. i have to admit, those folks at six apart sure know what they are doing.
i also added a captcha authentication thingy for her comments so she doesn’t get so much comment spam. it’s nice that the movable type community has these resources to make it easy. i’m very tempted to switch, but i really don’t like how slow the system is. it just feels painfully slow to use. hmmmmm. perhaps i should start with my dreams of my own blogging software, eh?
yeah, it’s pretty tempting to make the switch. the only problem is that the inner geek in me doesn’t really want to lose out on the dynamic display of pMachine.
i’ve heard something about movable type now having that option, but i don’t really get how it works for the main page. the only thing i see are dynamic archive pages.
Well, once everything is set up, it runs pretty smoothly and seems fast enough to me. And the MT community has really stepped up to mitigate the whole comment spam issue.
