I have refrained from making any suggestions so far, but I have to promote WordPress. If you are a Moveable Type user and are unhappy with the recent developments, please take a look at WordPress. I will not tell you that you should do it because all the “cool bloggers” are doing it, but because the transition will be worth it. WordPress makes it very easy to import your old MT entries and the support forums and the IRC channels are hopping. In addition, the features list keeps growing, a new version 1.2 is around the corner and development is very, very active. There are some very good resources available on the web to make this transition.

Unteins from the WordPress forums has come up with a way to use LJ tags in your WordPress blogs. From his post on the forums: If you’d like to be able to use LJ User tags in your WordPress Blog, do this. Download this file and save it in your WordPress root as wp-ljtags.php Then add these lines to you my-hacks.php file and make sure hacks are on. //WP LJ User Tage Parser require_once(‘wp-ljtags.php’); add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘parse_lj_tags’); add_filter(‘comment_text’, ‘parse_lj_tags’); This works really nicely with the Auto Update hack which let’s you post to your Word Press blog and LJ at the same time. Check out my additions to that hack as well. You can find his blog at G.B.A.A.O.
