Hello Movable Type Open Source

I just upgraded my Movable Type installation to the Open Source edition. The upgrade process itself is very easy. I just download the the package, upload to the server — overwrite the existing files — and run the upgrade script. Well, once you uploaded all files, you will be prompted to a page telling you to run the upgrade script. The upgrade process went smoothly.

Why switching to the Open Source edition? My primary reason is because I can run this blog without any problem. I do not need the commercial plugin, or any other paid plugins. So, why not? :)

Update: I think I spoke to soon. After upgrading, it seems that something went wrong. The individual entry pages (entry permalink) are broken. I use the dynamic publishing method. Got to find the solution. Ouch!

Update again: It seems that my PHP — and also smarty — syntax inside my template do not work. I removed those lines for now. So, some features will not be available for now. It might not MT’s fault, probably I do not write clean code. Will work later on that.

I’m using MT some month ago, and I wonder how difficult to install. And oh no no for Perl :D

I think Wordpress is the best web app for blogging for now.
