Comments on: I Wonder What Is Next http://usabilityworks.org/2006/07/29/i-wonder-what-is-next/ Making next year's Human-Computer family reunion a lot less uncomfortable. Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:54:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Matthew Oliphant http://usabilityworks.org/2006/07/29/i-wonder-what-is-next/#comment-452 Matthew Oliphant Fri, 04 Aug 2006 16:48:17 +0000 http://usabilityworks.org/?p=302#comment-452 One of the big issues was trying to set up better (in my mind) permalinks. Still can't get it to work and none of the docs I read are helpful. Another issue, I am sad to say, was that I copied all the WP files into the wrong folder on (mt) and couldn't figure out why the site wasn't loading. Yeah... But by far the biggest headache was porting over my content. WP kept crashing. Then I learned of the file size limit (which is non-numerical). I broke up the posts and it still didn't work. Eventually I got it, but what a headache. And now I am experiencing the, "why can't I view all the posts from one category and change all their categories in one fell swoop?!?!" WP Admin needs work.

I'd consider myself a non-techie as well, but of the self-installs, Wordpress is by far the easiest, usually taking only a few short steps. MovableType 3.3 is drastically simpler than 3.2. If you want scary, try and hook up Drupal. Really? I’d consider myself a non-techie as well, but of the self-installs, Wordpress is by far the easiest, usually taking only a few short steps.

Not just the uptime, but the responsiveness of the company as a whole. BTW, you're not the only site switching to Media Temple this week. Expect to see an announcement shortly.

Except now I am running into the whole "Matthew is SO non-techie" while trying to install Wordpress... :( As I said to <a href="http://cdevroe.com/" rel="nofollow">Colin</a>, now I get why people go with hosted blogging solutions. ;) So far so good.
