New CMS Coming in March

Yeah, decided I’m tired of SilverStripe — the flashy admin interface just isn’t worth the negatives that I face on a regular basis, not to mention that something in its XHTML parsing is screwing with the ad tags I’m getting from the Rubicon Project for my ad banners (thanks, by the way, to the few of you who have clicked on ads to help offset my hosting costs). I’ve also found that two anti-spam controls meant to block spam are not effective whatsoever — spam comments are still being logged in the software and since the SilverStripe spam comment interface’s pagination is broken, you have to manually click on checkboxes to highlight every comment on each page since the ‘delete all’ button wipes out every spam message which could delete a false positive. And if you’re a few pixels off on a checkbox, the admin panel actually redirects your browser to whichever URL is listed first in the spam comment … which is obviously less than desirable when clearing spam comments during my lunch hour.

So I’m loading up my old articles, but I don’t know if I’ll have the energy to port comments or not.
