It is done. The finally transition from Textpattern to Wordpress. Before the switch i did a lot of research on the topic. It seems that most people that commented on the topic had moved back to Wordpress (WP). And to export your blog out of Textpattern (TP) or Blogger was going to be messy with the Wordpress import. So it was just faster to republish everything. Well over 400 + entries. I just did that this past July when I moved from Blogger to Textpattern. I must admit the template system on Wordpress rocks compare to Textpattern. You can edit different sections a whole easier. The learning curve of Textpattern is just insane. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to properly get my archives working. And documentation is just crap. Do yourself a favor and just stick with Wordpress.

At some point we all have to move off of Blogger. Xanga and LiveJournal are definitely not an option. It would be taking a step back. I guess it has a community thing. But that’s about it. Most people look to move Movable Type, WordPress or Textpattern. Who really wants to deal with Perl or pay to use Typepad. Enough of ranting. If you’re thinking of switching I highly recommend WordPress. In the end, it’s still going to be a pain in the ass moving your blog to another blogging software. Can I say argh!
