Well, as you can see i’m back and alive and kicking. It took me quite a long while to figure out what to do with my site.
First I wanted a new design for my site, which is always a good thing. Then I started to work with Django, so the next best thing would be create your own Blog application with Django.
After setting everything up, and creating the templates, I got bored, again.
Then I didn’t know what to do with it. So I let it (as you probably know) for quite a long while.
A few weeks back, a few of my mates where asking what’s happening with my site. So, that made me wondering again, and started to work on it.
This time I moved back to Moveable Type. Why? Well, they really know how to make a good solid Blog application and it’s written in Perl. Some of you wouldn’t even thing about to use Perl anymore, but I still use it for work and it’s quite easy for me to understand. (Am a getting to old?! ;)
So, after installing 3.35 release and starting to create a few templates and stylesheet, 4.0 Beta came passing by me, and checked it out and I must say, it really rocks!
Great new design, easy to handle (yep, I’m definitely getting to old..), and tons of new features. (which as you know is not always a good thing. Especially when it comes to stability and security wise)
Some key features:
- Great new interface
- Build-in reports on Blog activity
- customizable dashboard
- build-in file manager
- auto recovery (one of my favourites)
- a WYSIWYG editor (one that don’t f* up markup language)
- smart template editor (which tells you if you forgot something or made a typo)
- Back- and restore capabilities
- many, many more
And one of the best things, they going to move to Open Source. (again) For an overview, check the new website.
