So, after a long run with b2evolution, I’m moving to wordpress. This isn’t to say that I haven’t had a blast with b2evo, and I definitely have nothing bad to say about it.

The thing is that it wound up being a lot of work. I’d rewritten the anti-spam on the comments so I could leave them unmoderated, but then some jerk invented trackback spam. Eventually, it got to the point of needing a captcha for people to prove that they were human. This worked perfectly well on my own server, where php sessions lived for hours, but on a third party host that isn’t a dedicated server, well, you’d better type fast. Remind me to rant about PHP’s ridiculous default behaviour when it comes to sessions. Oh, lordy.

I have to admit, I’m just a fan of how lazy I can be with this setup.I actually did have a post to write; something about the destructive effect of a specific and incredibly valid self-criticism on my post volume, but it’s late and I’ll do it tomorrow.
