Christine ™ aka Big Pink Cookie To Make a Short Story Long…

Next, I Save the World…

Know what I did a few weeks ago? I named a new blog software. Now I’m anxiously waiting for WordPress to be released. PHP, MySQL, and based on b2 but with so much more. It’s the first blog software I’ve been willing to give a chance in a long time. Word on the street is that it will be out soon…

Interesting! I am comfortable in pMachine but I am always interested in something new!

Besides naming it, what capabilities does it have over what you’re using now? I couldn’t find much info on the site.

I just named it - I’m not involved with the development of it. However, the info in the CVS repository link shows all of the changes they have made to b2.

For me, the biggest things are that it is free to use, free to modify, free to share, free. That, and the fact that it’s in PHP. I don’t code in PHP, but I know enough people that do, so I could probably have my heart’s desire. I don’t know that many people that code in Perl (MT), so most of my hacks already are PHP based. (I think that all of them are thanks to Jennifer!)

oh sweet! my blog was originally b2, but I moved over to MT because of all the neat-o features it had over b2 - so I’d definately be interested in trying out a more advanced b2 - especially since I don’t think b2 has had any update in a LONG while.

everything in pMachine is php, too, Christine!
i haven’t ventured to the link yet, but since i know that Matt has had his arms, legs, and head in the whole project, i’m sure it’ll be great!

i don’t think i’ll be moving my waterlily blog to WordPress, but if i ever start a new one, i’ll definitely consider WP simply because i know who’s behind it. besides, we already know Matt personally… he’s such a great guy.

Thank you for this post! I will be keeping an eye on this, I’m so excited that Mike and Matt are doing this!

Oooh, I look forward to seeing that!

Thanks for the link…looking forward to try it!
