Since this blog began, I’ve used Movable Type. What I love about the software is that I have incredible flexibility with it. I can add my own code, and change nearly everything to the way I want it to look and behave.
Unfortunately, all of that freedom to customize comes with a big price tag on my time.
Over the past few months, I’ve spent a great deal of time playing around with this blog. Everything I was doing, however, was on the back-end, which never really resonates with the readers. In fact, what I’m discovering is that the limited time I have available for updating this blog is spent doing something other than writing for it. I don’t think that’s how it should be, and it isn’t what makes me happy.
So, the next time I get a three-day weekend or some extra time, I’m migrating away from this software platform to something that I’ll enjoy a lot less from a freedom standpoint, and something I’ll enjoy a lot more from a time-consumption standpoint.
In a perfect world, this shouldn’t matter much to our readers. Goodness knows, however, that I’m far from perfect. It may very well be that I went I begin the transformation that you’ll encounter problems. If so, bear with us. The end result should be more great stuff for you to read.
