Back in 2003, when I switched from my LiveJournal blog to my own domain, I’ve asked around about the best CMS for blogging. People recommended me Textpattern, and after playing with it for a while I decided to go for it. After all, Textpattern is very stylish, gives you the feeling of actually writing stuff.
But time passed by, and the Textpattern developers missed the window of opportunity: they didn’t implement trackbacks (for fear they were too spammy), nor a better anti-spam comment system(believing the “preview before you save” feature was great enough that no spammer would ever catch on). In a nutshell, they got lazy and very quickly got behind the CMS scene.
I’ve been using Textpattern for my Romanian language blog for a long time and wanted to switch to Wordpress for half of this time.� It’s not a great idea, since my blog there is quite popular so people would get lots of broken links.
To make a long story short, I’ll probably move to Wordpress that blog as well, as soon as I implement a good switching mechanism. At that remote date, I’ll be merging the two blogs into one. Until then, this English blog devoted to my development tips and tricks, tutorials and how-to’s will go in parallel with the other one.
