Ouch

Been a bit quiet around here, hasn't it?

It's probably something to do with the horrific experience I had with MovableType 3.0D. If you're thinking about trying it - don't even go there.

Not only did it fail to upgrade and then break all my urls, but shortly after installing it, the XML-RPC interface would no longer accept my password. I fought with it for a few days, then thought "I don't have time for this shit" and abandoned the blog.

I woke earlier than expected this morning, so I took the opportunity to downgrade to version 2.661 again. Almost there ... I've imported the old entries, but most of the IDs are currently screwed. Expect lots of broken / incorrect links until I find out what's gone wrong.

Sigh.

So, a move up to the (free software, with MT import system) WordPress not on the cards? Or any one of the other "more modern" systems?

I thought people were shunning MovableType. Is it trendy to like version 3 now?

(Still seeing MT::App::Comments=HASH(0x81054a4) Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at /var/sites/andrewsavory/cgi-bin/mt/lib/MT/Template/Context.pm line 1187. as well. Email me the file, I'll fix it for you ;)
