Massive changes in CVS: B2config.php gone! New Options Screens!

For anybody interested, I’m just about done with lining up the data models behind Movable Type (2.64) and WordPress (0.71) to see how the import can work. The rest of it should be just going through the motions of moving the data. There are a couple of outstanding design decisions, like what to do about […]

This final beta fixes all known issues and then some. I’m running it on my own site and it’s great. Try it out and report any problems in the beta forums. Thanks!

We’re very close to our .71 release, so please try out the beta to help iron out any issues.

I just put the finishing touches on Mike’s OPML import for WordPress Links. I’ll admit that personally I hadn’t moved over to using Links yet because I have about a hundred in the Blogrolling system I didn’t want to enter all over again. Luckily they make your blogroll available in a format called OPML (here’s […]

There’s a new beta up, same bat channel. This has a much cleaner include scheme that should work on restrictive hosts and avoid a lot of the problems people were having. There are a ton of other fixes here as well, so check it out.

I hope everyone had a pleasant and relaxing holiday weekend. The more I look at the different templating systems the more I’m leaning toward Smarty. When cached, it’s just about the fastest thing out there. It’s certainly flexible enough for pretty much anything we could want to do, and its support and community are really […]

Okay I’ve scoured the net and found about 35 different templating implementations. Some look quite promising, but it’ll take me a while to narrow it down to a few and start some serious testing. I would like to say for the record that HotScripts has what is possibly the worst search I have used in […]
