I’ve moved on from Movable Type 4 to WordPress 2.7. MT, which I have used for years, is a very powerful weblog publishing system and I recommend it in many situations were its features and flexibility warrant. But, as a developer, the template system was burdensome in my opinion and I had a tough time adapting to the new MT 4 architecture. Additionally, I have a few client projects that I’ll be doing in WP so the time was right to make the switch.

The WP install was simple and I encountered zero issues on my shared server at Joyent. I imported my MT posts into WP with just a few clicks. I also changed the theme to  iNove. Next, I need to learn more about developing my own themes.
