Yes, the paint is new, but the place is still the same. I spent a chunk of the afternoon converting the site over from MovableType to WordPress and things *seem* to work, though I’m sure there are a few broken links here and there.

Oh okay, there are a couple reasons. MT used statically generated pages, which are nice for keeping the server load low but not so nice for incorporating dynamic data. WordPress has a few additional nifty features like password-protected entries and comment moderation. MT does have some similar features on the way, but the new version is also in a bit of a licensing kerfuffle. And finally, I just like tinkering with things.
Testing if unregistered comments work…
