Well in my too busy to keep up world, I put off upgrading my MT 2.64 installation to the MT 2.66 version. Now it seems, I am really too late, as it will cost me at least $65 according to the new MT3 licenses.
There has been quite a backlash at MT around these licenses:
MetaFilter and Dive in to Mark.
MT has updated some of the licenses and added a FAQ that helps clarify things.
I never did with this blog what my original intent was. I always planned on adding a second or third blog to my installation, and without upgrading, I can still do that. No errors with MT2.64 will be addressed, and as I see it no way to get to 2.66 without paying, and that won’t be updated either.
So at least for awhile this site will remain MT.
There is a possibility that I will go with WordPress at some point.
[Well that took, lets see — 6 years!] Only time will tell.
I had hoped to turn my main domain, into a blog operated site, and had planned on using MT, but now I probably won’t do that, or at least not use MT.
Still need to put together a photo gallery, which I also had planned to use MT for with the Gallery script. Now I don’t know just how I will do that.
Changes are ahead, what ever way I go. And lack of time to implement them is a constant.

I’ve just installed a test site with WordPress and it ROCKS! As well, I’ve seen that WordPress plays nicely with Gallery, so there’s a plus. I’ve got a not yet open to the public Gallery site that I’m fully integrating with pMachine (free version). SO – I can probably help if you get stuck somewhere along the way, whatever you decide! (and I have a zip of MT 2.65 if you should ever want it…)

Thanks Gaile.. can’t wait to see your new sites.
Will probably take you up on your offers as well,
as soon as I have more than a 1/2 hour at a time on here.

Hi Bobbi
I saw your comment about WP at Gaile’s site and just came over to say that I switched to WP a couple of months ago and really like it. After using MT for many years it was difficult to change, I had got very set in my ways! I have MT2.661 upgrade still if you need it.

Thanks Shelagh, I emailed you.
And thanks for the blog kudos Sara… I really need to post, but just got back from a week away and tons of other less fun things to do first.
