Finally Upgraded to Movable Type v3
Posted on December 30th, 2004 @ 1:16 PM EST
After many months, I finally got around to upgrading Movable Type to version 3.x. I had been putting it off because I was using six separate weblogs for various sections of the site and the 3.x version only lets you have three weblogs. In order to have more than three, a license is required which costs $69.95. I’ve been using Movable Type for around nine months and never had to pay for it. It’s one thing to charge a fee for commercial use, but why they decided to charge a fee for personal use is beyond me, especially when there’s many other publishing platforms available that are free.
I developed a standalone content management system using PHP/MySQL where I can easily update various sections (Bookmarklets, Bookmarks, DVDs, Favorite Movies, etc.) of the site. The only weblogs that I am now using is one for posts and another for the Photographs section.
The upgrade surprisingly went very smooth and it only took around 10 minutes. I haven’t come across any problems but if you stumble upon anything that isn’t working properly, please let me know so I can fix it.
