Oooh MT4… Okay Maybe Not

Posted by Josh | Filed under Hope for the Future, Meaningful Labor

I dropped MT4 after installation took me 4 hours to get nowhere. I don’t know what I hate more, the terrible install directions, or the fact that I can’t seem to set my permissions properly to get it to execute. I actually had to install using an old set of install directions to even get half way to nowhere. It took me way too long to remember just how “easy” MT is to install. TextPattern is EASY to install. The only thing I don’t like about TXP is the templates all being database entries. At least with MT I can have the service check for external template files.

I like to edit my templates as separate text files, because it’s just part of my workflow and the whole copy and paste bit isn’t cutting it for me. I know there are plugins, but I haven’t fallen in love with them yet. I like how it works in MT, well, I like how it used to work in MT…
