Scot Hacker’s Foobar Blog » Notes on a Massive WordPress Migration

I once ran giantkicks.com on Moveable Type. I thought it was utterly unintuitive, too complicated and kind of ugly in the back-end. I gave it a couple months and threw my hands up in exasperation. Installed cafepress/b2 and then wordpress when cafepress and b2 withered away.

Apparently China Digital Times has migrated some 16,000 Moveable Type post to Wordpress. They’ve since seen posting times reduced from 15 minutes to a few seconds, with a huge increase in server perforance due to lower loads.

I have unfortunately been recommending Joomla as a content management system to friends with businesses and online communities.  Joomla is a lot less intuitive than Moveable Type. i don’t know about server loads, but having read Scot’s article. I will stand by Wordpress and recommend it instead.
