Hey, WordPress!

Just a thank you shout to the wordpress community of developers, plug-in hackers and theme developers for making personal web publishing, err.. web-loggering interesting again. I’ve been playing around with blog software for a long time - Blogger (the non-hosted era), greymatter, and more recently Movable Type which powered this site (in fits and starts, of course) for a few years.

And somewhere along the line… MT v3, I believe, I got bored. I got bored because I am more of a tinker-er than a ‘blogger’, and MT 3 threw in a ton of template cruft, and sad default templates that it didn’t seem fun to re-engineer the templates to a simple state. And then there is perl. Guh. So WordPress, thanks for making playing with the web during off-hours fun again.
