You know that a lot of publicity around the security issues are mostly buzz and babble, not fact. Recently, a big security issue came up that had more to do with Google and poorly setup sites than WordPress, and hit plenty of non-WordPress sites, but WordPress got the blame. It’s a growing concern, but keep things updated, as you would on your computer normally, and you should have little problems on the security end.

I’m glad that Movable Type has finally matured and improved to really compete with WordPress and other services. Everyone needs a little competition to stir things up and make all the products better.

Either way, whatever platform you use, it’s not about the code underneath but the visible presence you create on the web. Put your energy there and do work that makes you happy and the rest is just details. Good luck!
