From Movable Type to Wordpress
Weblog (wiki) | Intellectual Property (wiki) - urs @ 16:58:40

[via Chregu, 1] Mark Pilgrim has - for reasons he points out in his blog post - replaced his blog backend from Movable Type to Wordpress [2]. This blog here is still running with a modified version of cafelog/b2. I was waiting for Wordpress 1.2 [3], which offers some nice new features and upgrades, such as OPML import/export, Thumbnail handling, subcategories etc.

If you are currently using b2/cafelog, then there is a weblog engine that you may want to try:

b2evolution ( http://b2evolution.net )

As the name says, it is an evolution of b2/cafelog. (Wordpress is a branch of b2/cafelog as well)

After using b2 and discovering that it has ceased development, I have moved to b2evo and have never regretted that - it is an interesting software, with active user base (see forums on b2evo site).
