Thankfully Matt Mullenweg, the author of Texturize and one of the lead WordPress developers, very nicely corrected me in a comment to yesterday’s post about my thinking WordPress has a fatal flaw. Actually, the unreleased alpha 1.2 version does have that problem but the stable 1.0.2 version does not. Which is great! Because that means WordPress is what I’m looking for after all.

And Matt says that “when 1.2 is released I can promise you it won’t have that bug.” Which is even better news since there’s nothing else about the alpha release I don’t like because Matt even fixed that Texturize bug! Go, Matt!

I continue to be impressed with the WordPress development team. Just a week go I reported a bug on the support forum, and Ryan Boren had it fixed and a patch mailed to me before anyone else had even read the post. Now that’s responsive.

Textpattern still looks very promising but after test driving it more last night and this morning, it’s a little less flexible than I thought. But I’m going to cut it a lot of slack since it’s still very good for a development release. I’m sure Dean Allen will address those issues.

In another comment to my same post yesterday, Buzz Anderson just cracked me up calling Blosxom the “Mach kernel philosophy of content management.” A very pithy description. And Buzz even uses it so I guess he was both funny and serious.

Anyway, it’s back to WordPress. The stable 1.0.2 version anyway.
