I finally tired of WordPress eating up memory on my humble VPS that I’d really rather have for my email server and other things, so I tossed it (along with its requisite overkill DBMS back-end, MySQL) out the window in favor of Movable Type static publishing, with the Lighttpd web server and SQLite at the back-end. It was easy enough to scrape together my own template set, and so far I haven’t looked back… for this sort of thing, Movable Type > WordPress by a long shot.
I’m having a bit of trouble importing the old WordPress entries, however. If you got here because you found an old post of mine on a search engine, sorry; if it is any consolation whatsoever, most of that stuff was crap.
