When I woke up this morning, the only thing I could think about was having a coffee. You know, one of those zombie like walks you make to the kitchen with your eyes only 1/8th open? Yes, that was me.
So, I went into the kitchen and I started to boil water. I went back into the bedroom to check my mail and about 5 minutes later I smelled something pungent, strong and smokey. Yes, you guessed it – the kitchen was on fire!
In the middle of 2008, I decided it was time to give Wordpress a try and I’ve found a lot of things that I really do not appreciate.
There really is a big difference between Wordpress and Textpattern. Textpattern, does only what you tell it to do, and is incredibly simple to customize. Wordpress does everything you need it to, even when you don’t want it to, and is considerably more difficult to customize. For example, the PHP in Wordpress is far more difficult to read than are simple pneumonic tags in Textpattern that do the exact same thing.
But let’s talk a little about economies of scale here. Wordpress has a significantly larger user base, therefore it has many more themes, plugin’s and potential developers. Textpattern, has a smaller userbase and hence less themes, less plugin’s and less potential developers.
So many sirens ce soir? What's going on in Toronto tonight?
