This site now runs on WordPress. As I've discussed here and here, I am uncomfortable with MT's new licenses. I want to reiterate that I wish the staff and community of MovableType the best; I hope the staff gets filthy rich and whatever else they'd like (generous, aren't I).
Now for the nitty gritty. The 5-minute install pretty much nails it, and makes MT's install process seem painfully technical. The only problem I had was getting the blog URI to show up correctly (I never did, and resorted to installing WP in the docroot of the webserver). Importing MT entries was a breeze that I made too complicated. It turns out I didn't have to worry about creating users ahead of time, as I found out the second time I did the import (over the first time; no worries about duplicates). I had to import the second time because I needed to turn on Textile formatting for the import; it Just Worked. I will say the wiki-style table here didn't come over too well, but it wasn't great in the first place. I'll have to go back and update it from Textile 1 to Textile 2, and perhaps it'll be better.
