The problem I’m having with Movable Type is I don’t like how the permalinks work. Since using Blosxom, I’ve grown accustomed to permalinks of the type such as http://domain.name/yyyy/mm/dd/slug, which happens to be the default format of Wordpress and Mephisto. (This was actually one of the reasons I wasn’t fond of Typo, because of the it inserts the word article between the domain name and the year. I found this unnecessarily crufty.)

The other problem is that when I imported my Wordpress entries into Movable Type (via the rather ugly WXR [Wordpress Extended RSS] format), the import chewed up all my URLs, and removed all the dashes. Hence, my old permalinks no longer work. I guess I could write a regex .htaccess to likewise strip out dashes in requests, but that is, as they say, mere kludgery.

So here we are. Back on Mephisto.
