Up and running on Wordpress!

Three cheers for Wordpress!
After signing up for a free Typepad tour and playing around with it a bit I decided it wasn’t for me. It just seemed clunky and still had all the disadvantages of Movable Type that I was trying to move away from. And I had a feeling I would end up with the same spam issues I had with MT that had basically been discouraging me to write ANY blog posts at all!
So I checked out all my favorite and beautifully designed blogs (see list to the right) and saw that most were running Wordpress. But I was way to fearful to switch since learning MT was such a hassle to begin with (remember that glossary with all the mark up tags?) there was no way I was going to learn another system.
But as it turned out today was a rainy day in NYC so I decided to set up a test blog and give Wordpress a try. And wow! In the time it took me to sit on my couch with my laptop, watch a Red Sox game and drink a beer I had my new blog up and running even better than before and I was sold…
Wordpress rocks!

I love those mark-up tags! At least compared to having to use php. Enjoy your photography.
