I’m abandoning Moveable Type (the blog software I use right now) for something less.. er.. big-endian. I’ve been having issues with MT lately, and I’ve heard good things about WordPress for a long time. Also, using MT templates and plugins to make the integrated home page is a bit complex. I’m thinking about switching to something like Planet. While I’m at it, the design for the page will likely be simplified and tweaked, but I’m going to try to keep it largely recognizable.
I think I’ve made this kind of announcement in the past, but this time I’m serious.
Update 8 Nov: The home page and the uberfeed are Planet-powered, now.
Update 10 Nov: And now everything is WordPress. So long, MT.

I’ve just started using WordPress lately, and I also use it a lot at work. It’s simple, solid, and there’s a lot of expandability with the plugins. I’d have to say overall I’ve been pretty happy with it.
My Planet-powered version of the home page is coming along fine. I’ve needed to make some changes to Planet, and I still need to hack the blog RSS feed in order to get discussion counts and category links in, but so far it’s been far easier than I expected.
Wow! The Planet page looks just like the MT page. I was afraid I would have to learn how to use your blog all over again.
