I was given a crazy deadline at work and turned it into an opportunity to learn something new. I don't know why I work this way, but somehow, greater pressure makes a better environment for me to learn. Weird.
I've been toying with Movable Type since 2001 and never really "got" it. (In fact, this blog is built on Movable Type, but it's not very modified, so I don't consider it a good example of MT development.) When we decided at work to change to a scalable CMS-based site, I knew enough to think MT would be perfect, but I wasn't sure I would be able to figure it out to the degree that I needed.
Gallons of coffee and a couple of days later, we have a pretty cool skeleton--and I'm not only able to think in MT, but also totally jazzed about its possibilities.
As soon as work settles down, I am going into full MT territory, Wordpress be damned. (Not really, but I feel like Wordpress is akin to having a webpage on Hometown AOL back in the '90s. Almost any idiot can do it.)
