First off, happy Easter to everybody. I came across three more switchers today. Remember if you blog about your switch to send me an email.<\/p>\n
Mickey’s Musings<\/a><\/p>\n I’ve now moved to WordPress a PHP-based blog that has most of what I was looking for in a blog. Most importantly, it has the ability to submit blog entries via email. I think I will really like that functionality and think it will help me to post more often and from more places.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n MT Politics<\/a><\/p>\n After doing that, I thought, “Well, why not give it a test drive over at my own place?” So I did, and I liked it. A lot.<\/p>\n Instead of umpteen rebuilds every time something is changed, WP builds everything on the fly. So, when you squash a troll, or delete some spam, it’s gone immediately, without having to rebuild the main page, the comment archive, and the individual (and\/or monthly) archive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Xhale.org — It ain’t over till the fat buddha sings<\/a><\/p>\n Why oh why do I insist on continuing to test every blogging package out there – even signing up to Typepad (again !), when the perfect beast is sitting on my hard drive gagging to be uploaded, styled and posted to ? WordPress does all that I need and then some. It’s free, well constructed, full of advanced features and hence should be my first and last choice of blogging script.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There is an interesting thread on the forums<\/a> with a few tips on how to set up PHP\/Apache\/MySQL on your local windows machine. I must admit in the past I’ve always done my work either directly on the server or uploading after every save, because I didn’t want the hassle of dealing with two radically different enviroments. However as I commented in the thread, I’ve recently gotten a good enviroment set up locally and while I haven’t started using it for testing yet, it’s fantastic for running web-based applications like Alex’s Tasks<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First off, happy Easter to everybody.
