New Blogging Software
I decided to move my blog over to a WordPress installation from the MovableType one that it was on. MT was all CGI based, which opened a few security holes that I would rather not have open, and it required that I “publish” my pages since it stored them all as flat files. WP uses PHP (which I love!) and MySQL (which I also love) to store and generate the blog pages. This results in a performance hit since it has to generate the pages everytime they are requested, but hey, this is a low-low-low traffic site and the server is nice and fast.
