I switched back to WordPress again. Movable Type had some really cool features but the admin interface was just waay too slow. It could take anywhere from 30-60 seconds to switch page or save a blog entry which was simply unbearable. I tried getting the FastCGI interface to work but it refused to run and documentation was scarce to say the least.
Using an external MySQL server?
Nope. It’s running on the same machine.
