1. The iPhone post
Note: all of these are sitting in my drafts folder in MarsEdit, in various states of completion. Most of the drafts are one–year–old or more.
9. All I can control in WordPress (WP) is one error status (404) — in Movable Type (MT) I could create separate pages for up to 57
8. The authentication scheme of MT for comments is the best of any system, anywhere
7. Want a new blog? Click ‘create new blog.’ You’ve created a new blog.
6. I loves me some static pages (No database connection? No problem! Here’s your page.)
5. No .htaccess file needed
4. Unlike WP, MT has enough built into the core that plugins aren’t really necessary. MT plugins are more for adding small, specific functions rather than basic needs (e.g. Recent Comments)
3. The Post and Page management is as mature as you would expect in the 4th iteration of a product
2. Being a rebel — when everybody else zigs, I zag
1. The tags are spooky thorough (though the documentation isn’t). I created a sitemap the same way I created an RSS feed: it’s that flexible. And MT 4 eats its own dogfood: you can change the interface with the same tags you build your site.
Editor’s note: this site runs on WordPress. During 2007, I used Movable Type exclusively, and while I found it to be a superior publishing platform, things that have nothing to do with publishing affected my move back to WordPress. Regardless of my choice for this site, there is no blog–publishing software that is fully superior to any other.

9. A good conscience is a continual non-denominational winter-solstice holiday season.
8. Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to the Bush Administration.
7. A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you get a lot of trackbacks.
6. He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for Haliburton.
5. He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else than becoming the head of the Democratic National Committee.
4. Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What’s a sun-dial in the shade? No, seriously. I’m working on this crossword puzzle. Eight letters.
3. Energy dependence on foreign oil and persistence to oppress other people with our version of freedom makes us conquer all things.
2. All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse. This, of course, being a plot by Karl Rove.
1. All would live long, but none would have adequate healthcare.
