Leung Fri, 07 Dec 2007 05:49:04 +0000 http://ben.tshin.com/2007/wordpress-vs-movable-type/#comment-26 Importing from MT and Blogspot to WP2.3 should be smooth and painless, since WP has the importer built in. Once you have WP installed and setup, it's just takes a few clicks to import. Thereafter, you can just delete the MT files & db, as req'd.

Wordpress was created (forked) from b2, an essentially dead piece of open source software (not created from the ashes of MT). And if you want to compare interfaces, you should compare them accurately. WP 2.3 was released in September of 2007. While it is true that the interface hasn't changed a whole lot, it should be most accurately compared to the interface of MT4, released around the same time. MT 3.33 was released in mid-2006 if memory serves. Doing otherwise would be like comparing MT4 to WP 2.0 or something. Of course, there are lots of reasons why switching may not be a bad idea - replacing themes in Wordpress is much easier than doing so in Movable Type, but there are also other things to consider is all. :) Just another small note: While lots of the Movable Type community may have fled – or at least have been perceived to have fled – in actuality, very few of the developers did so, and those that did didn’t do so to create WordPress.
