WordPress – the new MovableType?

I’m using WordPress for my work blog. With my frustrations over Radio several weeks ago (subsided, but I don’t know why), I continue to consider moving clock to WordPress. I don’t look forward to the conversion, or the data migration, but some command line work and data manipulation would be good exercises for me. Lauren Wood notes what WordPress does right. The only quibble I’d make with her post is that interest in WordPress was rising before the MovableType announcement. She’s right, though, that people are really swarming now. Recently migrated Eric Meyer has a WordPress tools page, according to Photo Matt. Dave Winer points out an RSS-WordPress import tool from Matt, which is very much of interest. But I can’t find the referenced tool at Photo Matt. Hmmm… any hints?

Of course, I’m putting all these links here for me more than you. More readily accessible than my bookmarks. I was glad to see that my orginal mention of Meyer’s switch helped someone else notice the switch. I’m only sorry I can’t remember where I read about it, so couldn’t give appropriate credit. Since I’m not a regular reader of Meyer’s blog, I didn’t see it on my own.
