I write a blog about techy stuff that I run across at work that might interest other folks in my line of work. The system we’ve been using for over a year is MoveableType. At the time we started using it, MT was the best blogging software available and was priced right for our use. Since then, Six Apart, the makers of MT have released newer, more robust versions of their software, but they have also changed their licensing scheme, which now makes it very expensive for the school district to upgrade. The end result: We haven’t upgraded. We’ve stuck with an older version of MT for our older blogs and for any new ones, we’ve switched to WordPress. I haven’t gotten around to migrating my work blog to WordPress yet, but I can see after tonight that I’m going to need to do it this week. I just spent the last half an hour deleting the latest type of blog spam: Trackback spam. How incredibly annoying. At least with WordPress I can turn on comment moderation and be able to delete them all at once before they ever show up on my blog.
