Subtext Ahoy

Posted by Carly Lyddiard on Apr 4th, 2007

So the old site looked pretty much exactly the same, but it was powered by Umbraco. Umbraco had its strengths, I admit – the ability to create custom document types and define your own fields and data types was very nice. But on the whole I found it a frustration – I couldn’t nicely view or manage comments from posts, I could only administer the site in Internet Explorer (my browsers of choice are Firefox on Windows and Safari on the Mac). Admittedly Umbraco was described as a .NET CMS, where Subtext is a .NET blogging engine. As such, it appears to suit my needs a bit better, and is a more mature product.

Anyway, I only got it up and running this morning, and I have yet to move content over and finish up. Hopefully tonight, my friends. Then I can tell you about some other cool things that are going on lately :-)

Update – October 2007: This site is now running on Mephisto, a great Ruby on Rails blogging engine!
