Refreshing

9 Things I miss about Movable Type

It’s a refreshing change of pace to find a post by a WordPress user that compares MT and is actually accurate — even complimentary.

it is isn't it, I agree completely

Seeing as that link now sends you to 404 page, thought I’d post the content here. Keeping up with all the plugin and system updates to WordPress is more trouble than it’s worth.

9. All I can control in WordPress (WP) is one error status (404) — in Movable Type (MT) I could create separate pages for up to 57

8. The authentication scheme of MT for comments is the best of any system, anywhere

7. Want a new blog? Click ‘create new blog.’ You've created a new blog.

6. I loves me some static pages (No database connection? No problem! Here's your page.)

5. No .htaccess file needed

4. Unlike WP, MT has enough built into the core that plugins aren't really necessary. MT plugins are more for adding small, specific functions rather than basic needs (e.g. Recent Comments)

3. The Post and Page management is as mature as you would expect in the 4th iteration of a product

2. Being a rebel — when everybody else zigs, I zag

1. The tags are spooky thorough (though the documentation isn't). I created a sitemap the same way I created an RSS feed: it's that flexible. And MT 4 eats its own dogfood: you can change the interface with the same tags you build your site.
