After the final botched Typo upgrade I gave up on it and am now serving this blog from Mephisto (0.7.3). The migration went fine. Luckily I still had a copy from the old Typo database structure since the Typo SVN version is not compatible with the migrations scripts from Mephisto. So far everything seems to work fine, except for the Sections. But I can now tweak Mephisto without fear. Typo has become such a huge opaque monster making changes felt like gambling. The last Typo version I checked out had over 35.000 files in the trunk!
The only downside I see so far with using Mephisto is that it’s even more obscure than Typo so there is no ready-made migration path to anything else 
With the migration completed I will start posting articles again..<ali_g_accent>for real<ali_g_accent>
Update: Mephisto’s SPAM filtering (through Akismet) actually works and the approval process is very well done. I also like the Overview section.
The linenumber column is a bit unreadable (second digit is scollbared away)…. so when will we see a nice overview of how all those blogs compare?
I saw this too on Firefox/Mac, just tweaked the stylesheet, should be okay now!
As for comparisons, I think it can be summed up in 2 lines; If you absolutely have to use Rails based blogging software go with Mephisto as it’s much cleaner than Typo. If not, stick with more established (PHP based) solutions like WordPress.
Looks fine now! Thanks for the tweaking…
