Once, I was a user of Movable Type, installed it into my own server, and used to blog with it. It's been a few years since I replaced my blog system, Movable Type, with Hatena::Diary. In addition, I've used Typepad and Vox, both of them are products of Six Apart, to practice English writings.
I like all those blogging tools, but there're some problems with them:
- Hatena::Diary isn't suitable for blogging in English
- Typepad and Vox are less customizable
So, to motivate myself, I launched new domain, blog.kentarok.org, and installed MT. Today, I spent much time to select a theme, adjust the design, introduce some plugins, and move the entries on an old blog to new one. Everything is ready.
Some technical notes:
- Applied fcgi feature to MT management system to work much faster. The entry named "DreamHost で MovableType x FastCGI を使う方法 : Hasta Pronto.org" was very helpful to do it.
- I chose markdown as the default text filter to write entry more easily. I prefer Hatena style to it, but Text::Hatena which converts a text written in Hatena style to a html document hasn't been implemented enough to do with it yet.
