Nobody Knows Anything

Recently Movable Type had their required upgrade to 3.3, which as far as I could see also required a move to MySQL. No, I didn’t investigate heavily to see if I could stay with Berkeley DB. I just didn’t see anything that said I could. So I decided I was going to get MySQL working on our server, and then, after much urging from my friend Otto, I would move to WordPress.

Long story short: got MySQL working (3 hours?), got WordPress working (another 3 hours?), and I can’t use it because I haven’t figured out how to redirect permalinks from this MT install to the new WP install. (Which you can see at http://www.nobody-knows-anything.com/index.php.)

So apparently I’m stuck with MT for the moment. Feh. And WordPress is really, really cool, too.

(Okay, okay — I see in the official installation guide for 3.3 that Berkeley DB is supported. Don’t hassle me! I have updated to MT 3.33 until such time as I get the WP permalinks working. Oy.)
