“Movable Type” Rules

by | October 27, 2004 | About the Site, Articles

An interlude, and a paean to Movable
Type, on which this blog is supported.  Last night, with no small
amount of trepidation, I upgraded the Movable Type platform I’m running
from 3.0 to 3.12—sounds like a small thing, right?  That would
be, in the famous phrase, "easy for you to say." 

Technically, the upgrade was only moderately challenging—a question
of FTP’ing up the right new files to the right new directories (otherwise
known as installing some Perl modules), and running some cgi scripts.  Emotionally,
as far as I was concerned, it was putting at risk the entire history
of "Adam Smith, Esq." if I screwed it up.

But evidently I didn’t, and Movable Type performed yet again as advertised.  The
upgrade went seamlessly and it reported, laconically, when done:  "All
went well."  Indeed.

If anyone in the audience is considering starting a blog, or has a blog
on any platform other than Movable Type, switch to MT.  I’m
Bruce MacEwen and I endorse this message.
