I think it’s safe to say at this point I’ve become a huge WordPress fan. But I was a huge MovableType fan for a long time and I miss a few things about it.
What I really miss (and would like) in WordPress is –
- A good search and replace in the administration interface (dashboard).
- An easy way to maintain multiple websites with one login interface (a dashboard deluxe). From Movable Type I could maintain several blogs and with blogging clients I only had to log in once to configure for multiple blogs.

Maybe I can do do this with WordPress mu (multi-user)? I’m thinking the last few times I looked at it mu still didn’t handle things the way I wanted it to. Multiple blogs with different domain names still seemed to need plug-ins and I guess I’d feel better if it was integrated in the core. And I’m thinking not all plug-ins are WPmu compatible. I’m thinking when WordPress and WordPress mu becomes one product the plug-ins compatibility will change.
Gary,
I just read something in OpenSalon by someone going by the name “Verbal Remedy”. Any, I saw their tagline and thought of you:
I was born. I continue to live. Everything in between’s either been blogged already or doesn’t warrant mention.
