Switched to WordPress / Changelog 2
Switched the blog over to WordPress from Movable Type. The process was quite smooth. Was able to import everything effortlessly. Only problem is that all the older permalinks are broken since WP uses a slightly different permalink scheme (and I could not find an easy way of mimicing MT). Everything else looks great so far. Quite impressed by WP. Expect changes in the look and feel as I customize the templates over the next few days.
I will be using this post to maintain a changelog on this new blog:
- 12/26/2005: So less than a day after I upgrade from 1.2->1.5, WP 2.0 gets released. Upgrade was straightforward with no major surprises.
- 12/26/2005: Upgraded to WP 1.5. Got rid of many earlier changes and plugins. I’ll probably need to do something about comment spam soon.
- 02/06/2005: Changed permissions of wp-trackback.php to disable trackbacks.
- 02/02/2005: Installed captcha to help solve comment spam problem.
- 12/14/2004: Changed the name of wp-comments-post.php to reduce spam.
- 10/18/2004: Used the jaws template from here and heavily modified it. Also modified index.php a bit. Looks much better now.
- 10/18/2004: Made minor modifications to index.php to get the number of entries for each category and month archive to be displayed.
- 10/17/2004: Installed WP and imported all MT stuff. Got a new scheme for permalinks - breaks all older permalinks. Big deal!

Everybody’s doing it, the switch. Maybe I ought to. But I kinda like MT. Will try WP for my other blog

Hi Ankit, I’ve been reading your blog for a while, you have a nice little corner (it was actually the simplistic layout that attracted to me and the obvious with good content). Congratulations on switching to WordPress.
