Contrary to rumor, she does have legs

This clearly isn't finished yet, but I wanted to launch the WordPress version of this blog after spending all week tinkering with it. Most of the tinkering will be invisible to the reader, but I assure you it's all very high-tech stuff and will no doubt garner me a position as Tilda Swinton's personal webmaster.

After over 3 years using Blogger's interface, I finally switched this sucker to WordPress, which has been a somewhat most, highly time-consuming endeavor. Before Blogger, my site was driven by an ancient CGI (as in Perl, not the thing that brings Avatar to life) script originally meant to be used for site guestbooks (guestbooks?? what were we thinking back then?). That script functioned fairly well, and I would still be using it today but my host changed some setting and suddenly none of the comments would display. Rather than figure this out, I just switched to Blogger. Those comments still don't work, even though they are all still saved on the server.  Someday I will liberate them.

For the time being, I will be messing with this layout, I have a couple of simple ideas for the design that are proving especially annoying to bring to fruition. But for now, it's kind of nice to see this old site with a new skin, after 7 years with that eye-straining teal color scheme.  But while the Blogger posts have all nicely migrated to WordPress, my CGI archives remain in the old format, so we'll always have those to remember this site's former glory. I'll get around to linking to them at some point.
