i was playing with wordpress for the past week, contemplating migrating this entire blog to that off of mt.
why?
because i’m stupid. or bored. or stupid and bored. or i don’t have enough ways to waste time in my life already.
actually, it was just the thought of moving to a platform that seemed easy to implement, and was still active and had development being done to it, as opposed to the long-abandoned free version of mt that i’m using now.
i liked the way you can quicky switch themes instantly, and all the plugins that are available. i also liked the instant archive feature that someone came up with.
alas, after getting everything installed and imported, i don’t think i’m going to switch over.
why?
wordpress doesn’t support multiple blogs.
i wasted all this time trying to figure out how to make three blogs show up in one page, and then i realized that it doesn’t even support more than one blog. if you want more than one you need to do three installations. true, wp people point out that what people want multiple blogs for can/should actually be done using categories, and sure, that’s true, but then that means going back and importing each blog under a different category and then figuring out how to display only category x in this part and category y in that part and suddenly this is a huge pain in the ass.
maybe i’ll just steal this picture from natalie dee instead:
