Right now I just use a my own personal CMS to update my web site. I'm looking to switch to something that's a bit easier and has more features I want built in. I tried to install Wordpress today but I'm already running into problems (can't log in, once im logged in it says my db needs updated, etc). I just would like to hear from someone that has used one or the other.

hey q4 pro

I like Word Press and dont you have to pay for a MT now?

I've been using Movable Type for my site for quite awhile now. No real problems with it. Then again, I'm just using the basic aspects of it. I thought of migrating to Wordpress since so many people praise it, but I just couldn't be bothered to spend the time to do it.

Not if you only want one user.

I like Wordpress

Wordpress seems cool but I just dont get some of the problem I'm having with it. The install went smoothly, I go to the login page, enter my details and when I click login it tries to download the wp-login.php file. My entire site is in php and its enabled for my entire site folder so I don't get that at all.

I was able to login at work (who knows why) and when I tried to add a new post or use any of the other features it just goes to a page that says i need to update my db. I click the links to update the db, it goes through some steps but it doesnt seem to do anything as the same error keeps coming up.

It seems like a nice program but It hasn't been very easy to get started so far.

We use movable type for Gizmodo and have run into a lot of speed problems. But then again Gizmodo probably gets more hits than your site does.

I've definitely had experience with both and I can tell you that I prefer Wordpress 100 times more.

Not to mention that Six Apart is a traitor to the community.

I'm going to agree with the majority here, Wordpress is the better of the two. Have you ever looked into Joomla?

2nd!

Neither. Squarespace. Its 100% hosted, and has features galore.

I like Mambo/Joomla a lot, but I dunno if I would like to keep using it for long with the errors I keep running into security wise
