So during my talk “Switching to WordPress Painlessly” at WordCamp, (video coming soon!) Six Apart’s Open Platforms Tech Lead David Recordon was in the audience and rather than have a chat with me at any one of the numerous times we passed during the day, he made this cute tweat instead:
There are a couple of [...]
“If Movable Type was as popular, and under the same amount of scrutiny, I can’t imagine they would still be storing passwords as plain text.” upset at least one reader of “Movable Type Pro, Setting Social Networking Free, Vaporware, WordPress, BuddyPress“.
