Switching to WordPress and a new Blog Name

I’m moving this blog over to WordPress because:
- It has a much better license. This is a big deal because MoveableType switched to a license where only one blog author was allowed, so Catherine was not allowed to post to the blog using that software. With WordPress this is not a problem, since the license allows multiple authors (and multiple blogs, if I so wish).
- Managing the blogs seems just as easy as MoveableType, easier in some ways.
- It manage changes in site appearance much more easily, since it uses themes, so basically I just select a theme and go.
- As the site has grown in size, adding entries with MoveableType has been kind of a pain since the site has to be “rebuilt” every time there was a change. In WordPress, every page is built on the fly and it is much faster without “rebuilds”… yeah!
Tell me if you see any problems with this site since this was a considerable shift in how the site is managed.
Along with this move, I have changed the name of the blog to “Familia.Cabanela.com”. This seemed to make more sense as Carolina and Zakari are no longer “Babies”. This name won’t actually work as a website address for a few more days.
