So after telling a couple of coworkers that I had my blog on an old blogger.com template, I got this weird look and “you don’t use wordpress.org?” comment. Checking it out for a bit got me interested, and as I played with it, I realized what they were talking about. WordPress rules!

The longest part of the conversion process was setting up all the 301 redirects for my old URLs to the new ones. The import of my blog feed, the setup of the template and blog was cake, and the admin interface is awesome. Even better, I control all the code through the php templates, so my blog is now proper XHTML where with Blogger service, there was so much invalid blogger code scattered, it wasn’t even funny.

Also, the more I use php, the more I like it. I was always an ASP guy, and with the vBulletin work I do running the RoadRaceAutoX forums, and now setting up WordPress, I’m finding that php rules.
