Somewhat on the spur of the moment I decided to switch from to WordPress for the blog portion of this site. The switchover was all but seamless.

I’m sure no one really wants to hear the details, but what started as a Sunday morning project quickly became a Sunday project. The initial transfer to WP was actually quite simple and painless, it was the CSS that had me tinkering. I probably should have just done a quick re-work of the site and come out with a simple new design, but I wanted to see how hard it would be. In the end things look roughly the same and some parts look better in my opinion.

The main draw to WP for me was the simplicity of the configuration and ease of use of the admin section. It took me hours to get the archival format right for MT, but I had that done within the first 5 minutes of the install today. I also felt a need to switch shortly after MT decided to start charging for their previously free software. That kind of change irks me.

Well my Mental Train just derailed, so I guess . . . stay tuned for some pictures or notes about my upcoming project building one of these.
