What is worse than taking a big gulp from a cup of Starbucks coffee and realizing that it’s just plain coffee when you’re expecting your favorite quad-shot Carmel Machiatto??
Nothing!

I just have to reaffirm that WordPress ROCKS, man!
I’m in the middle of doing some custom work for a new client who has a TypePad (SixApart’s hosted, paid version of Movable Type) blog. I have a ‘dummy’ TypePad account, because I’ve had quite a few TypePad customers, actually - and it’s worth it for me to have the account to play around in when designing new, custom skins for my Type Pad clients.
I can’t take it!!!!!
It is sooooooooooooooo slow!!
All those templates are enough to make a person scream…..loudly!!
I’m over working in TypePad and my fingers and brain are SCREAMING for the seamless ease of WordPress!
Plus - the servers that SixApart runs for their TypePad clients are so excruciatingly SLOW! I could write a 3,000 page novel while waiting for the rebuilds.
I should mention here that WordPress has no rebuilds.
Ok. End of rant - thanks for listening.

6:22 pm on June 24th, 2004Thanks for this post, I have still been dragging my feet on making the switch. I guess I will have to jump on it this week. Easy install? Easy import/transfer of my old stuff?

6:30 pm on June 24th, 2004Vox - it’s so easy it’ll make you cry tears of utter joy
Do an export of your MT entries.
Do the WordPress install.
Run the importmt.php script found in the wp-admin folder.
Should take but a few minutes and you’re done.

6:36 pm on June 24th, 2004I totally agree with you. WordPress is so much better than Movabletype or Typepad or any blogware for that matter. I feel sorry every time I go to a Movabletype blog.

10:46 am on June 26th, 2004Well for those trapped in TypePad…thanks for designing for us! I love my template you built. I tried to install wordpress but can’t seem to figure it out. Does it go on personal pc’s?

4:16 pm on February 21st, 2005Help! Is there a way for me to move all my posts over to my WordPress blog?
If there is please let me know by posting over at my site. Thanks so much!

1:25 am on February 22nd, 2005Yes there is. do an export of your TypePad data — then use the import-mt.php function in WordPress. Works like a charm
Hopefully 2.8 and 2.9 will...

Spit? Well, I guess that answers that question that was left out of those five threads that Jeanette keeps re-reading…

How did I know you wouldn’t resist that one, Astro?? You’re naughty!!
11:41 am on December 13th, 2004
Mmmmm…your Starbucks coffee sounds yummy!
12:41 pm on December 13th, 2004
Hey! I resemble that remark! Maybe you have ESPN…
2:21 pm on December 13th, 2004
Stop wasting your money on fancy flavours you dont need. Grab a jar of “blend 37″ from the supermarket, try it, its good. Mmmm black coffee….
3:23 pm on December 13th, 2004
Dude. That sux. Hope you demand a refund! Nice blog, by the way.

Whatever happened to coffee-flavored coffee?
4:01 pm on December 13th, 2004
Wow Master… Coffee flavored coffee. Does anyone even drink that anymore?
10:02 pm on December 13th, 2004
I do, I do. I have about one Starbucks a day.
10:06 pm on December 13th, 2004
I actually drink coffee flavored coffee at home - - it’s only when I go to Starbucks that I do the frou frou stuff
11:35 pm on December 13th, 2004
Bwaaaahaaahaaa! Good one, Astro.
In answer to your question? How about getting a mouthful of coffee grounds? (gag)
7:55 am on December 14th, 2004
There’s coffee and there’s mocha. There ain’t no carmely foo foo wannabe coffee stuff that’s worth drinking!
If it needs to be a flavor other than coffee or chocolate, there’s teas! Mmmmmmmm. Chai tea. Mmmmmmmmmm.
8:10 am on December 14th, 2004
I’m not sure what that is but I thought you mentioned coffee… you know, that hot, black, liquid that tastes like coffee?
8:19 am on December 14th, 2004
Whats wrong with a nice cup of tea…..? Milk, two sugars, none of that Ice crap. and a couple of McVities Chocolate Digestives.
11:28 am on December 14th, 2004
Sounds like a perfect cup of English tea!
12:53 pm on December 14th, 2004
My Carmel Machiattos have 4 shots of espresso in them . . . some milk, laced with a bit of carmel drizzel across the top.
Yummmmmmm!
2:53 pm on December 14th, 2004
Have a friend who’s currently doing Chai tea with a shot of expresso in it. I gotta remember to try that one of these days…

Marmite on toast, Weetabix and a cupa…. quite possibly the ultimate breakfast.
