Mark Pilgrim has an eloquent post about reasons why open source software is good, and it’s not about the money. He’s switched to WordPress, as hordes of other bloggers are doing. I haven’t researched the alternatives, but WordPress does look good. Not sufficient for my students, but I’ve got half a year to work that out. WordPress have even set up an installation you can play with – simply log in as admin/demo. The installation looks a lot simpler than the Moveable Type installation, except I’m going to find out what my server’s MySQL setup is. Which shouldn’t be too hard.

    The installation and MT import are both very easy. I moved to WordPress yesterday and found that the entire procedure (installation, import, editing templates, installing blacklist) only took a few hours. Definitely worth doingóso far WordPress seems great!

    in 4 or so years of blogging, i’ve used just about every blogging tool out there — MT, blosxom, blogger, greymatter (the list goes on). I’d have to say that I like wordpress the best so far. hanna is right that setup is easy, and WP already has a decent community of supporters and people coding cool plug-ins. The only real weakness for me right now seems to be the lack of multi-blog support, but I suspect that’s in the works.

    OpenCMSs website rocks in general, it’s helped me out quite a bit.

    In an act of wild procrastination, I’ve written a set of instructions for those looking to migrate from MT to WP. Check ’em out here.

    Aside from WordPress, check out bblog for a very nice up-and-coming open source blogging app.

    Easy to install, nice plug-in architecture for developers.

Språk er makt. Ikke la KI ta den makten fra deg.

Readers who don’t read Norwegian: sorry. This is in Norwegian because it is commenting on a current debate in Norwegian media. Asle Tojes debattinnlegg «får KI-alarmen til å gå,» skriver Petter Bae Brandtzæg, og jeg er enig. Toje sier riktignok nei, han har ikke brukt KI. Han «har kvitteringer,» skriver han, teksten tar […]

The debate was expertly led by Liva Flo. It’s always […]
