New version of Typo!

April 18th, 2007 by steve

I’ve just noticed that Typo, the Ruby-on-Rails blogging engine that powers this site has become active again, after what appears to be a long hiatus.

The developers have also released a new version – v4.1. As soon as I get a chance, I’ll have to install it, and check it out. They have also started a blog, so hopefully this means a renewed level of development activity.

While I like the idea of my blogging software running on RoR, I must say that sticking with Typo has not been without its frustrations. I have often been tempted to move to the behemoth that it Wordpress. However, the killer app for me, is support for Textile. If you’re not familiar with it, check it out. You’ll never (or at least rarely) have to deal with HTML or a crappy HTML GUI again.
