I remember when upgrading Movable Type was easy. That was before I forgot how I installed it in the first place and before I had 391 posts.
Today I upgraded to 3.0D, and managed to extend the process out to several hours. Fortunately it’s almost back to normal, though you might find some bugs here and there. Just like the comment system which isn’t working at the moment. That’s not a bad feature given the ratio of spam to actual comments I get.
All in all it looks good. The feel is nicer, and I like the way it archives using the post name rather than a number. The features included in the comment system are really appealing, when I get it working. However, overall I don’t think anyone will notice.
I’ve had to ditch a few features I used to include. Like the related Amazon links and some RSS feeds from news sources. Again, I don’t think anyone will notice.
All in all, an unnoticeable upgrade, but being a geek I enjoyed the process.
