Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Good drupal hosting?

[Sarah G. <sa...@fa...>]

Let me add that I blog with Wordpress and the more I blog with it, the 
more annoyed I get and the more I think "I'm going to look into 
switching to something else *because I hate this*". Why? I find their 
editing area (the actual text box where you enter your blog content) to 
be *maddeningly* inconsistent with formatting.    I've worked with this 
on 3 blogs and do not see any lasting results from setting the default 
setting to "code view" (or "design view" for that matter).  It seems to 
whimsically reformat valid (x)html as it pleases, even in so-called 
"code view".  And I've tried a lot of things here, so I'm not saying 
this from one bad experience. 

I don't know if movabletype is better, but I do know that I'm going to 
check it out as an alternative.  I also have a friend who blogs w/drupal 
(hence my original post) who seems quite happy with it.

Good luck!
