I've become increasingly annoyed at dasBlog the past few months.  It was certainly a good package when I started using it, but so much has changed since 2005... and dasBlog hasn't been updated with any new features, and it seems like the codebase is in dire need of a complete overhaul.

Pending the availability of an import tool, I will be migrating my main website and this blog over to GraffitiCMS, written by the folks at Telligent.  I believe that platform gives me the functionality I need, without requiring the constant attention that dasBlog does.  This would also allow me to clean up my homepage, which is currently quite outdated.

Problems I've had/currently have:

• The search sucks.  I usually use Google to search my own blog.
• The "login" feature is inconsistent; even when logged in, some pages randomly render as though I'm not logged in.
• Google can't index anything properly, so users can't possibly locate anything properly.
• The configuration file is disgusting to edit

I started the blog on 2005-02-23 07:34:38 PM (February 2005) and the ~500 odd posts will be sucked into Graffiti sometime the next few weeks, and everything will be consolidated into 1 nice and hopefully clean interface.

More on this soon, hopefully...
