I finally got tired of typo dying on me. Sometimes after making a post, the entire app would just blank out and return no html at all. The cache seemed to act really weird at times as well.
So, after looking around for some new software, I decided on movable type. Wordpress was another big alternative, but I had used it on my now-defunct guild site (Retaliation-Skullcrusher) and wanted something a little different.
Movable Type is amazing so far. The preinstalled themes are great, the admin GUI is intuitive, and the whole thing seems rock solid. Setup was a breeze as well. (I used this walkthrough) No qualms so far.
Migrating from typo to Movable Type was fairly easy too. I lost all of my post dates and images, (my fault, though) but re-entering my post content was a breeze. I just went into my typo database, went through the contents table, and copy/pasted the markup. Make sure you choose the "Markdown" format in MT's format selector.
Anyway, time to draw up a design comp and stick it on here.
