Goodbye Wordpress... Hello Movable Type. (2008)

So, I’ve moved back to Movable Type, and back to self hosting.
I’m frustrated with WordPress, for a couple of reasons.
* The amount of security fixes WordPress has.
* The lack of being able to fully control my WordPress.com blog
* The decision of WordPress.com to move to a proprietary web server (Litespeed)
In the past, this blog was made with Movable Type, but I made a decision like many others to move to WordPress because it was the best free software blogging tool out there. Today, I’m switching my support from WordPress to Movable Type. Movable Type is now available under the GNU General Public License, which means it’s finally free software.
I’m still using WordPress for some sites, I hope to move those over to Movable Type as soon as I can. I also need to investigate Movable Type Debian packages.
