I like trying out new stuff. That’s why I chose Typo as my blog engine. It’s Ruby on Rails, has fancy themes and is all Ajaxed up. Well, I learned my lesson again. I’ve been using Typo for almost half a year and ended up spending several hours every month fixing it. At first I thought it’s a good opportunity to get familiar with Rails. But it keeps getting worse. Every upgrade broke the theme I was using. Sometime I got Rails application error accessing the home page. Just when I thought the situation will be better as more people start using it, I found out everybody is moving to Mephisto which is yet another Rails based blog engine. Finally my Typo installation was FUBARed a couple of days ago. This time I didn’t even do anything. No upgrade or whatsoever. It’s just DEAD! After a chat with Jeff, I decided that I have better things to do than babysitting my blog. So here it is. Simonlin.ca is powered by WordPress now. It took me about an hour to move the whole thing over while sitting on the couch watching TV thank to the script from Stuart.
