Comments on: The Move to Wordpress http://www.kartooner.com/archives/2004/05/15/the-move-to-wordpress/ Thoughts and observations from a quirky cartoonist and designer.

However having stuck with MT, I'm not sure I want to give up their new comments system which has firmly and confidently protected me from comment spam. I'm also still at a loss as to how to code in the stats which I have running on my MT powered blog. I'd need a clear helping hand on how to code them.

It's a powerful and polished CMS. However, this transition has long been in the works and happened to coincide with Six Apart's recent pricing changes for MT. Namely transitioning into a full-fledged company (instead of just two people) and having to charge for what was previously donationware essentially. If you need any help, shout my way.

I know many that had been working overtime this week to change CMSs on their sites just to give MT the finger. At least it looks like you had better purposes on your switching. Time-consuming work and home issues have avoided me the chance to go over this with my site, but when there's a chance, I'm eager to give Wordpress a try.

Granted, this has occured invisibly, and that was my intent, but Wordpress is a different beast. The stylesheet switcher will return again, meaning all of the color schemes will be retained. I spent the greater portion of the past couple of days porting everything over, and as you can imagine I need a break. :) Thanks for the comments Jarek.

I like the new menu being an accent, but where has the green template gone? I also see a little redesign. I like the new menu being an accent, but where has the green template gone?
