It isnвЂ™t that there was anything wrong with Textpattern-in fact in many ways I still prefer itвЂ™s simplicity, template system and other core features. I was seeing that where WP was headed is more aligned with where I think I want to take this site. IвЂ™ve used both systems, as well as others like Movable Type, for personal and client projects and have a good feel for each systemвЂ™s strengths. Why Change? I had been contemplating the change for some time now. Though it only took a day or two to migrate blog posts and comments dating back to 2004 and create a theme to match, it was a move that needed some massaging.

I canвЂ™t say this will change in the new year, but I thought a quick update on what IвЂ™ve been doing and why IвЂ™ve been busy was in order.
