Dumping Moveable Type for Wordpress
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008 | Blogging |
Moveable Type hasn’t upgraded the default styles since my last upgrade three years ago. When I tried applying one of the new themes and rebuilding it used my old templates and complained about them being out of date. Eventually the whole thing died. Wotta piece a junk.
To heck with ‘em. I’m switching to WordPress this weekend. I’ll try to get some redirects in place for the old files.

Nice looking site; a little cleaner and easier to read than before, in my opinion.

Thanks. I don’t know if I’ll keep this template, but it’s already a big improvement.
It’s nice how many choices you have with wordpress.
BTW - you can change the nickname for admin in the user section of the dashboard.
I love the use of gravatars, btw. You should sign up for one at gravatar.com.
Ugh. This template doesn’t have paragraphs.
Katie’s blog doesn’t have them, either, and I’ve never been able to find the exact reason why. very annoying.

Thanks for the tip on the admin nickname.
Dang. It doesn’t have paragraphs, does it. Gotta fix that.

OK, fixed it. I went into the stylesheet and increased the margin from 0px to 3px.
.comment p {
margin: 3px;
