I started blogging with MT and really never liked it. (rebuilding pages just sucks – and I could never remember the cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi blahblahblah url to login). I then went to LiveJournal and while I enjoyed blogging there, I got to the point where it began to feel oppressive. A friend introduced me to WP – stating it was very easy to use and learn – and I tried it out. What really impressed me was the support here – everyone’s so friendly and helpful, I was always able to find an answer even the stupidest question just by searching through older posts or checking out the Wiki.
have been using it ever since.
