Fuck Wordpress

2 steps forward, 1 step back. Guess I'd better get used to it now that I'm heading down a completely new path.

Currently I'm taking a close look at B2evo and I do like what I see.

But being totally honest, WP is still a good script. I simply pushed it further than what was envisioned by those who created it. I would guess that about 90% of the bloggers would never have an issue.

Use it for what it was intended, a blogging script that takes care of posts in a reverse order. If you want to add a bunch of pages, like galleries, do it in static HTML and don't use the page function in WP. Keep your plug-ins to a minimum and I doubt you'd ever have a problem.

Shit, I just figured no one really listened to what I had to say anyway.

So far what I I'm liking is that a lot of the features I wanted with WP I had to use a plug-in for. B2Evo seems to have that functionality built into it. I'll assume that means a lot less conflicts with various plug-ins and that when updates occur you don't nearly the concern about whether your plug-ins will work with the new release and if the original author will bother updating it at all.

B2Evo is a multi-blog platform so I believe it should be pretty easy to cross promote your blogs provided they are on the same domain.

It was simple to move posts from WP into B2Evo. While I probably wont do much of that, it's nice to know I can.

I still need a bit more time with the script to really say for sure if it's where I'm going to settle for future projects but so far I'm liking what I see.
