Made the jump from the long-in-the-tooth Typo to Mephisto.

Typo is an excellent blogging platform, but Mephisto has a much more flexible approach in my opinion. More CMS. Less Blog.

For me at least, the code base is easier to understand (read: hack), and the beginnings of a multi-site feature are already present.

I have been wanting to play with hosting numerous sites under one distributed Rails application for some time. Typo didn’t give me much hope of achieving this in the short term.

The more I looked at the architecture in Mephisto, the more I fell in love with it. So much so, that I contributed a couple patches to the project after an hour of playing with it this weekend.

So, long live Mephisto! (until someone claims its dead, of course)

Update: It may be a couple days before I can fix any broken file/image links.
