The installation is pretty easy, and I'm glad Drupal supports PostgreSQL out of the box without extra hacks. All I had to do was create a new database and import the template, that's all. So far it seems very flexible, specially the blocks concept which I already love :)

On the other hand, Drupal seems to be fully dynamic, which can cause higher loads on the server, although this is a very low traffic site and a throttle mode can be enabled. One of the features I like about Movable Type is that it lets you publish and rebuild your site so you can have most pages rendered and served statically. I'll have to investigate if such a thing is possible with Drupal.

There are some pretty nice themes out there, but we'll settle for this one for now. The crap logo you see above was made with The Gimp in 5 minutes (it's one of the built-in script-fu logos), and should be replaced with a better one when I have some time.

The other issue is the migration of the old content. I should probably copy the archives to avoid a myriad of 404's before Google reindexes everything. So I'll run the testdrive this week and if I'm satisfied with the results (and so far I am) I'll make the permanent change.

Those of you using RSS readers will have to update the link as well.
