Yay, free time

My exams are finally over thank GOD. The geography exam was really, REALLY hard. I’ll wait to see what I get though because I’ve never actually done a Geo. exam I felt went well, and yet I get okay marks ;) I’m just relieved my exams are over, but ironically, now I have a little free time, I’m too tired to do anything. Plus, I have sooo much coursework to do for English :grr: Still I’m going to give myself tonight off, then start work on it tomorrow. Hopefully I can go to the library tomorrow for a few hours since my History lesson’s been cancelled and I don’t have to go to Tutorial on Tuesdays any more :D
I was thinking about switching to Word Press for my blogs, but to be honest I don’t see that it’s that much better, from comparative reviews I’ve read. Since it’s from the makers of b2, who have now quit working on that, who’s to say they won’t quit this project just as quickly? Plus I remember the frustration I had installing and editing MT a couple of years ago, and I just can’t be bothered. I’ve edited/installed/hacked/plugged so many things, I don’t want to go through it all again with WP. Apart from threaded comments, which look far too hard to install to me, and smilies which work in Firefox (back to the drawing board on that one I think), I have MT almost exactly how I want it. I just need to fiddle with the smilies and the archives ;) I’d prefer to spend my time updating pages and sorting out coding problems to be honest :D The old, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ thing comes into play here I feel :P
Well, I’m going to enjoy my time off on Starshine for a bit I think :love:
I might add more to this entry later.

    Yay! That’s so great that your exams have finished, I’m happy for you. It always seems that there’s a million other things you could be doing, when they’re going on, but when they end, I’m always bored. :yawn: I think you should stay with MT, I know I couldn’t take installing a whole new blogging tool after spending so much time customising the other one.;) Good luck with Starshine, I think I might pop over and join sometime today.
    Rosie.:P

  2. Jennifer says:

    Well done in finishing your exams! I’m sure your geography exam went great :)

  3. Niamh says:

    yay for no more exams! lucky for you! i have a whole week ahead of me.. :(
    Why change to Wp..whats the point? lol

  4. Rachael says:

    I’ve heard from people that workpress is a real pain in the backside to install. MT is good and it does it job. Like you say, if it aint broke, don’t six it.

  5. Kiki says:

    Exactly, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Ah, my motto in life….I use it all the time, whether something is “broke” or not.

    Anyway, yay you’re exams are over! Now you can relax, ugh I hate exams, yuck yuck yuck, I’m glad I haven’t had to do any recently :D

  6. Megan says:

    Yay, no more exams for you! I’m sure you did great :) There isnt anything wrong with MT, is there? And you’ve spent so much time editting and installing hacks, so why start over? :P But if you think WordPress would work better for you, good luck with it!

  7. Alyssa says:

    Yay, your exams are over. Hope you get a good job.

  8. Xiu says:

    Glad that your exams are finally done! I think MT looks fine, and I hear wordpress is a pain to install or something..anyways, again, congrats on your exams :D

  9. Nicole says:

    Hello Jenni! I’m so glad your exams are finally over, thank goodness.

    I just wanted to let you know that I have changed URLS, if you clicked on my url you’ll dind my personal blog :)

  10. Kat says:

    Oh yay :) Finally, right?
    Oh I don’t think you should change, it doesn’t sound worth it at all.

  11. Emily says:

    Congrautlations! I’m really pleased for you your exams are over. Good idea to give youself a night off, pamper yourself :P I think this blogging system looks good now, and you wouldn’t want to change to something which probably would only work the same as this one :)
    Enjoy yourself on Starshine :) Cya!

  12. Alexandra says:

    :) Cool site! Almost as cool as Xiu’s site! @ http://www.smiling-me.com!

  13. Iris says:

    Congrats on finishing your exams. I think your current system works great. I’ve also heard complaints about WordPress being easy for bots to spam. Enjoy your time off. :love:

  14. Arlene says:

    Hey, congratulations on your exams :) WP sounds pretty posh, but one of my friends use it, and she says its good but that was her first blogging thing that she used :S

  15. Katie says:

    Yea, why get rid of MT when nothing is wrong with it? XD And you could be spending your time on better things so yea. Dont change! Well, thats just my opinion =D

    Glad the exams are over (finally) :crazy:

  16. ITT says:

    I’m sure you did fine on the exam… thank god they are over! :D And hey, look at that… no more long codes for the smilies ^^^ YaY!

  17. Tina says:

    I love this site, I’ve linked it and bookmarked it. It’s awesome. You’ve just got another visitor! Lol. :)

  18. Independent Spirit says:

    Hi Jenni, WELL DONe with all exams. I think you should stay with MT, you don’t need the extra hassle of installing an WHOLE new programme. But it’s your site and it’s your call. Good luck with whatever you choose.

    I say don’t bother with wordpress. MT works fine, so there’s not really a point to put up with the hassle of changing it when you could be doing other things. It’s great that your exams are over (I wish mine were, we’re starting midterms this week though) I hope that you did well.

  21. Lisa says:

    I would definitely stick with Moveable Type. It seems like a much more customizable and flexible beast. :D
    I bet your exams did go well, because I’m forever the optimist, so I predict 100% on every test you do! :D Ok, now I’m bordering on wishful thinking, but still, it sounds better than 70% or 80% or whatever.
    Hope your wild party goes awesomely.
    See you around at SS ;)

  22. Julie says:

    Yay congrats on being done with exams!! :) You definitely deserve a day off now, all that work going into studying and all. WordPress is just the next level of b2, which is why they stopped working on b2. Most places don’t still update the older versions when they have a newer version out ;)

  23. Tara says:

    God….ughhhh hard test can be so intimidating and nerve wrecking…T___T Wahhh!! I hope you did good.

  24. hope says:

    congratulations on finishing your exams :) im sure you did superb!

  25. Gaynor says:

    Well I changed from GM to WP. It was really easy to install but quite impossible to customise but I think I know how to now. I’m currently using b2. I like it, it’s really easy to customise but the features aren’t as good as WP but overall it is very good :D Good luck on your exam marks now.

  26. Congrats on the finished exams Jenni!
    I don’t think you would need to switch to WP anyway, MT is great! And I think you’re right about the b3/WP thing… Anywho, have a time on Starshine:)

  27. ~Cat~ says:

    yay! exams are finished!! ummm i dont know what MT is soo… i cant say my opinion… lol

  28. Lara says:

    you should stick with MT, it’s quite a bit better, at least from what I can tell.
    that’s awesome that your exams are FINISHED! I’ll be able to say that… tomorrow :P … hopefully your marks are totally awesome!

  29. Tishi says:

    b2 is far better than WordPress actually. WordPress has so many unneeded features and the template is very confusing. I’m trying it though, since everyone has it and I am JEALOUS. Hehehe :P I also dont get how the hell to install hacks, WordPress just aint makin sense. Blah. Welll, it has SOME hacks, not as many as b2 but b2 has been around longer and WordPress seems to have extra built-in features. Amazingly some people think you cant change the smilies in WordPress. I mean like, what triggers them too. Lol. Google, people ;)

  30. Lily says:

    Yes, it’s such a relief that finals are over. I can bum out for the whole week now. =D

  31. Kc says:

    well i hope you did a good job on your exams. i dont think i did very well on mine though :S well i personaly like wordpress i sed it before templates are a little hard though, or maybe thats just, idk, but why bother w/ WP when MT works fine. unless its being a pain to you, so yea its really your decision.

  32. Alex says:

    Yay! :D Your back, hehe.. Hope your exams went ok i hate exams! :sick: Oh well yay! Im soo pleased heheee..

  33. Steph says:

    I love it when the exams are over and there isn’t any pressure to do well and study hard any more. I don’t have anything bad to say about the way your blogging now so like you said, if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it :D That Word press doesn’t sound that good either.:D

  34. Claire says:

    Hey, I haven’t been here for awhile. But I’m currently doing geography AS level, so I hope the exams aren’t that hard. I’m sure you’ll do fine though, think positive.
    I also read past blogs and I sat the Russian paper as well a week or two ago, when it didn’t ask ONE THING on the provisional government etc. I was well made up.
    Good luck with it all anyway….etc etc.

    Take care. And pretty fill-out form here :)

  35. Britt says:

    Great site, Jenni! It really helps me with webdesign. Did you know that Hollie @ rainbow-dreams.com is coping stuff from this site? Take a look at her trutials. She just made it look like its hers! She’s A Copy-Kitty. =K
