At the time, even though I felt b2evolution was a bit too cumbersome, WP was simply not feature-rich enough &#8211; so this blog runs on b2evolution. However I preferred the look of the WP skins, I took a WP skin and sorta forced it into b2evo (which is why some pages don&#8217;t look quite right).<\/p>\n<p>In the last few years I&#8217;ve grown increasingly dissatisfied with b2evolution. So I decided to take another look at WordPress. And I like what I see. So, I&#8217;ve setup a test blog and imported all of my posts\/comments\/etc.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m curious what you all think, though. So <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phildev.net\/phil\/blog-test-wp\/\" target=\"_blank\">check out the test blog<\/a> and let me know! If\/when I switch, I will wipe that one out, re-install and re-import all the data from here &#8211; so don&#8217;t post anything there that you would like to last.<\/p>\n<p>Moving to Word Press will provide several advantages: easier upgrades, I can switch to a supported skin (I could do this in b2evo as well, but I don&#8217;t like most of the skins), and there was a reCAPTCHA plugin as well (there may be one for b2evo now, I haven&#8217;t looked since my last upgrade). In addition, the WP developers seem more geared towards smooth upgrades and transitions than the b2evo developers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four years ago, when I first started this blog, I spent a while looking at WordPress (WP) and b2evolution (b2evo).
