I finally got around to installing WordPress and I have to say, job well done. The install could not have been easier! The only hiccup I ran into was i did not allow drop privs to the database, which made WordPress choke a little. Other than that, it has been pretty smooth sailing, I looked at MoveableType for a bit in the past for a photoblog of mine, but eventually spam took over the comments and I just did not have the time to look into a RBL for it. I am sure spam comments will get to me on WordPress as well, but for the time being, I am clean. I fully do not even understand the whole trackback system, I mean, I know what it is, but I am at a loss as to what to do with the fields and such.

Right now, I am entering this first post in the awesome MarsEdit by Ranchero Software. Other than a little lack of documentation on what to set the RPC url to and blog ID, it was pretty painless as well. I have to say, this seems to be one app I will be using all the time, it has it’s rough spots, bur for a version 1.0 release, it is stellar. Speaking of which, there is a great read over at DrunkenBlog with the owners of Ranchero Software, I highly recommend you take a look.
