"Movable Type" Rules
An interlude, and a paean to Movable Type, on which this blog is supported. Last night, with no small amount of trepidation, I upgraded the Movable Type platform I'm running from 3.0 to 3.12—sounds like a small thing, right? That would be, in the famous phrase, "easy for you to say."
Technically, the upgrade was only moderately challenging—a question of FTP'ing up the right new files to the right new directories (otherwise known as installing some Perl modules), and running some cgi scripts. Emotionally, as far as I was concerned, it was putting at risk the entire history of "Adam Smith, Esq." if I screwed it up.
But evidently I didn't, and Movable Type performed yet again as advertised. The upgrade went seamlessly and it reported, laconically, when done: "All went well." Indeed.
If anyone in the audience is considering starting a blog, or has a blog on any platform other than Movable Type, switch to MT. I'm Bruce MacEwen and I endorse this message.
