Yep, that’s right.<\/p>\n

That<\/a><\/em> Mike Davidson has recently switched<\/a><\/strong> from MT<\/a> to WP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I see more and more bloggers switching over to WordPress.<\/p>\n

A few years ago Movable Type didn’t have rivals. Now things are changing.<\/p>\n

Movable Type was free. Then it became paid, unless you wanted to use a free (partially limited in its use) copy.<\/p>\n

Then WordPress appeared on the horizon, it was open source, it was free and it became one of the fastest developing blog platforms on the market.<\/p>\n

Now and then, I see people switching over from Movable Type, from Blogger\/Blogspot and from other blog engines to WordPress.<\/p>\n

Now Movable Type released a brand new free version (4.0), open source, too… will this be enough to keep it on par with growing WordPress?<\/p>\n

To be frank, I doubt it…<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to see how things change so fast on the Internet. And for now, I am a (still) happy user of WordPress… actually, I use it since the creation of my blog optimiced<\/a><\/em> in January this year:-)<\/p>\n

Finally (but don’t take this seriously, please, this is just a joke, and an excuse for me to master a bit more Adobe Fireworks;-)<\/em>, here’s a graphical representation of what happens to Movable Type currently:<\/p>\n
