    • ]]>     Well I had said that I was moving my blog to EE 2.0. But that won’t be happening anytime soon. ExpressionEngine seems to be lacking an import utility.

    Version 1.6 of EE used to at least have an MT (Movable Type) import utility which could be used. But for version 2 EE doesn’t even have that.

    So I’m sticking with WordPress. Which is probably the smart thing to do. I see myself telling friends “Use the right tool for the job”, and WordPress is the right tool for blogging.

    So that’s that. Gonna make myself a Carrington-Blueprint theme of my own.

    • ]]>     The desicion

    I’m moving this blog to ExpressionEngine. I’ll be using EE 2.0, which just came out about a month ago. I’ve had a personal license for quite some time and I’ve decided to use it and explore what it’s got in store.

    Is there something wrong with WordPress?

    Absolutely not. I’m 100% sure that it’s the best blogging platform available. It rocks and I love it.

    So why ExpressionEngine?

    Well I use ExpressionEngine daily at work. About 95% of the sites we do are on EE. I haven’t had the time to play with version 2.0 and I want to get the hang of it.

    I love EE’s templating system and I’m looking forward to creating a blog “theme” in EE.

    So for now, thank you WordPress. Hello EE.

    Weblog Administration -> Preferences -> Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links? NO! Dammit.
