I decided to move to WordPress. I seem to be moving more and more to the dark side. I’ve worked with WordPress on a few other sites and I have to admit it’s a much better experience than I’ve had with any .net blogging software (.text, community server, some wierd dotnetnuke modules).

I’m learning PHP and it’s a lot like classic ASP except for one thing that I’ve noticed – you can do a more in PHP than classic ASP in fewer lines of code. I think this comes down to available libraries – PHP seems to have many more libraries to access than classic ASP did. I dunno, that’s just how PHP feels so far..
