Typo -> Mephisto -> WordPress

First I tried Typo, then Mephisto and now this blog is running WordPress. As a Ruby fan I really wanted to use Ruby everywhere, 2 years ago. I’m now at the point where I just want working stuff (kids will do that to you I guess). The migration from Mephisto to WordPress was very very smooth, thanks to this excellent article. The Mephisto version I was running was producing a Rails error based on some spam message which was posted. I really didn’t want to dig into the error and upgrading to the latest Mephisto was going to be quite a bit of work. All in all the switch to WordPress took about 2 hours in total, including customizing the theme a bit and making sure the old permalinks kept working. Cool!
