Well here it is. After years of mucking around with Movable Type, I've made up my mind that it ain't worth it anymore. Started as curiosity about running my own blogging engine, it's becoming more and more obvious that I just don't have the energy nor time to maintain it.
I had this grand idea of having a cool CMS, blogging and online photo library system all on my website. However, just like the guys at Top Gear always say: it was ambitious but rubbish! The Movable Type is now several version old, I never get around to install the CMS and the Coppermine is neglected. Running all these things give me more hassle than I can tolerate. So off with all of them!
Nathan has the right idea of having Blogger as your main blog engine and publish them via FTP to your webserver. This way you still have all the HTML files on your site while relieving all the boring engine maintenance to Blogger. Owned by Google, I'm sure they won't disappear anytime soon.
I'm taking his advice and ditching Movable Type. In fact I'm going to ditch Coppermine install too. That is my failed online photo library attempt and will move my online photos to a managed solution.
Don't get me wrong, Movable Type and Coppermine are an excellent software. I just don't have the interest of playing with them anymore.
So here it is the new location for Destination IUnknown.
