For me, MT is great because it generates its pages in html, so I can easier edit them.

Has anyone seen anything for fastcgi, or isapi?

In other words, something based on c?

Has anybody tried Typo with Ruby on Rails? I'm looking at blogging software and web frameworks now. I know more Python than Perl. Just enough html and css to be dangerous. Sounds like WordPress is easy, but perhaps insecure, given what has happened to John A. (see Bunny Slippers) and a few others I know. Thanks for any tips.

[...] I spent some time evaluating Movable Type and WordPress (both of which are not available on Yahoo! Web Hosting), and came down on the side of WordPress. I played around with both, did some Web searches on debates of the pros and cons of each (a good overview is here). At the end of the day, I decided to go with WordPress. One big factor is that WP uses PHP, which I am a big fan of, and is the Web scripting language of choice at Yahoo! where I work (the creator of PHP also works for Yahoo! and many of Yahoo’s biggest apps are built on PHP and MySQL). MT uses Perl, which I am not a big fan of, so that was a big factor in the decision. WP also seems to have more developers building plugins and themes for it, so that also helped tip the scale.

I successfully installed Wordpress on my site a couple months ago but I never got around to doing anything with it. So far WP looks like a great blogger, except it's limited to pages with the .php extension.

If I decide to use my Wordpress to bring in traffic and boost my Google ranking, should I make my homepage, Wordpress's main page, turning my site into a "blog" site, or should I be fine running Wordpress entirely within it's installation directory? Is it ok to name a blog directory '/blog/' or do the search engines frown upon this?

As other people post their site URLs in their posts, can that hurt my Google ranking, if they're a spam site?

Do blog sites in general build ranking and traffic on Google faster than a standard static page site? Would I be better off hosting my blog on my own site instead of at blogger.com?

Just a minor correction: MT now has an option for dynamic page generation.

When my host dumped all my data, I switched from pMachine to Wordpress and find that Wordpress is a breeze. Terrific right out of the box. Over a short period of time, I've also picked up a little coding here and there to tweak it. So far, loving it.

Word of caution, back up your database regularly. Otherwise, you will lose all your posts if the host's server crashes.

(Thanks for the great blog, John.)
