Wibbler, there are advantages to both WP and MT, but I don’t believe it is a matter of what WP doesn’t have that MT has or such thing. It really comes down to ease of use and what most people are comfortable with. The main reason many people switched from MT to WP (from what I’ve seen) was due to the fact that MT was somewhat of a system resource hog
Teja is right - that is the exact reason I made the rather tough decision at the time to switch from MT to WP.
It was easier for me; when I first got started looking through blogging software was during the big stink about MT changing their software to charge more, or whatever (foggy memory right now). I looked at the other ones, and it was a clear choice because of how easy WordPress was to install and use.
The “nofollow” rel attribute in 1.5 is a pain.
WP is definately easier to use/install than MovableType, though.
I’m asking myself: How can it be that I’ve never ran through your site before? It’s a great one! girl will stake unconditionally central pair is always industrious cards, lazy, faithful, greedy nothing comparative to memorizing
I must say i got here by mistake, but now i know it’s destiny. Great site! international corner roll or not

Sorry, this entry is no longer accepting comments. If you have something you really want to say, you can write me.
It seems that the only main advantages to Wordpress are the RSS feeds and a couple of comment functionalities. All the other functions he lists in the Advantages of Wordpress can be achieved in MT, albeit with easy-to-install plugins…
