QUOTE(atomicnacho @ Sep 24 2005, 10:25 PM) I'll have to check out wordpress.  I hadn't heard of it before, I just knew about movable type.  I switched from Yahoo 360, because I wanted more features for my blog. So I came to Trap17.com got myself some free hosting, then set up movable type.  I've been really happy so far except for the Netflix plugin that I cannot get working. Does Trap17's servers have all of the requirements to run wordpress? From what I have been reading Trap17 does have all of the requirements to run Wordpress. That is the main reason I have in fact joined, so Im hoping that I am correct in this assumption!

Yes Trap17 does have all the right stuff on their servers for Word Press. that is what I am using on my blog. When you get hosted you will find in your cpanel a section called fantisco(not sure if I spelled that right). That section will have a whole slue of scripts that you can install on your website. Word Press is among a few of the choices you will have. Keep on posting and soon you will have the hosting credits you need to get a site with Trap17.

So I took everyones advice and Installed Wordpress, and I have to agree with everyone. It literally took me 2 minutes to install it. Where Movable type took me 2 hours of installing and reinstalling in order to get it to work. Then the installation of plugins was a breeze, where it was often a real pain in Movable type. Often I couldn't even get the plugins to work at all. Everything seems to be a lot smoother with Wordpress. I really like the built in ability to quickly and easily change themes.
I did like the Movable type interface a little better than wordpress, but it's no big deal.
