Bye Movable Type! Hello WordPress…

After many months of virtual arm-twisting by my friends Armand Morin, Sherman Hu, Denis de Bernardy and others, I decided to finally dump Movable Type and go completely WordPress. Woohoo!

I love WordPress. But not just for its incredibly usable features, but also because Sylvie (my fiancee) and I have been running a battery of tests in the background with WP and the various plugins it offers.

Can you believe it? One blog we had for an extremely, highly searched keyphrase became #3 on Google and #1 on MSN (and many others, too) within just 5 days. (And went to #1 on Google in 9 days.)

We’re using it right now to develop monetized content sites (using AdSense and some of our “secret weapons”). That is, we’re using WordPress not so much as a blog but as a content management and delivery system (or “CMS”).

For some great resources, check out Semiologic CMS (Semiologic is the system I now use for The Copy Doctor’s membership site). And best of all, you need to subscribe to Sherman’s WordPress Tutorials.

My personal blog is now completely WordPress-driven (I had to customize the templates all by myself to ensure it looks, works and processes information the same way Movable Type did).

But if you want to know the finer (and more step-by-step) secrets about the tests Sylvie and I are running – that are making us a nice chunk of change right now – I recommend you come and see us at the next Internet Marketing Superconference in Las Vegas, where Sylvie and I will both speak on stage about our “discoveries.”

(Sylvie will also speak by herself on a technique she calls “managed outsourcing.”)

Browse around and get a feel for the site. Tell me what you think! (And help me test this blog, too.) Just enter your comment below. Thanks!
