Since an MT employee stopped by to say howdy and ask about some of the things I said in this entry, I figured it was only fair to post an entry about how MT’s been working for me since I…

I actually really, really love MT 3.2. It is FANTASTIC. Leaps and bounds above 3.1. I guess I should put up a post saying that the new comment sorting system is worth the price of, you know, actually registering, especially with the sale going on. (One blog. One author. Haven’t registered.)

I haven’t noticed much of a difference on the display end of things. That may be faster.

On the operations end, it’s still a pig.

MT is incredibly powerful, probably more so than I actually need for a blog, although the blog management features are terrific. But…

If I change the text in an entry, I get the spinning wheel of doom while MT rebuilds the entry. Isn’t the whole point of these great systems that the entries don’t HAVE to be built ahead of time, they can just be built on the fly?

And God forbid I change a template and then have to rebuild my entire site. I go and make coffee. And then some breakfast. And the kids’ lunches.

Also, when I posted this entry I was very, very upset at having to rebuild my whole site since the upgrade (WHICH WAS NOWHERE NEAR AS SIMPLE AS Y’ALL MADE IT OUT TO BE and I know I’m not the only person to say that) trashed my comments.

And really, you wanna side with a guy who calls me “Anal”? I’m sure anybody could think of a more clever insult than that.
