Well, it’s been so long, I’ve forgotten what it’s like to get into the weeds with a new editing system. I’ve used MT for so long, and gotten used to its quirks that other systems seemed to be intimidating. Well, when I saw the coffee-cup template for WordPress, I had to take the plunge. A couple of minor tweaks and it was up and running.
Another thing that helped me take the plunge was that there were poor choices for photo gallery management in MT … at least from my limited perspective there was. So far, QDig is looking like a nice alternative to the more complex systems out there. I have looked into a couple others for WP, but found them lacking. Specifically, IImageGallery and PhotoPress looked promising, but took far too much to get working and were pretty un-intuitive to manipulate. QDig is looking very easy – we’ll see how that works out. I am using IImageBrowser for multiple image uploads … that is working great. I’m also trying out one of the no-follow plugins and a referrer-spam blocker too.
