quickly following my first movable type post, which is no longer available, this is my first wordpress post. I originally used movable type 4 to host my blog but was disappointed in the lack of plugins and the difficulty in installing and using plugins. Wordpress is pretty intuitive and not hard to install and manage at all. (Although i did and still am having some problems with it, but i think its coz i messed up the sql)

It also helps that the ultra cheap web hosting i am using, Dreamhost, has one click install for Wordpress. Althought dreamhost is ultra cheap with those $97 off coupons but its kinda slow at times. I still it is a better deal taht using typepad, and i get to learn how to setup my own blog. it was a lot easier than i thought
