An improved bivalve
Well, after having some trouble with the old digs, I am back, now with an actual domain name. I am also using the excellent hosting services at Cornerhost, and hopefully will be writing more to justify all this trouble and expense.
I'm sure there'll be some broken links and all as I complete the move. I haven't even begun to get the old templates and images over from the old server, so image links in the archives are going to be broken for awhile. Pretty much any old links will be broken for a time, seeing as how I was unable to get the old entries to import with the same item ids as the old. MT, much as I love it, needs a better system for permalinks; the current id-based system breaks hard when you move from one host to another, as the export file has no id info in it whatsoever. I'm thinking of trying Mark Pilgrim's slug-based approach or perhaps the date-based scheme described byMár Örlygsson. Still debating which to implement.
On the other hand, not that all that many people linked to individual entries, (except for the you-know-what-America one, which I'll probably set up a redirect for.) So there shouldn't be too much breakage. Still, let me know if anything really obvious stands out.
Going forward.
UPDATE: Images now work, added a redirect for the "America page." I may just chuck incorporating template changes and do a redesign (in my copious spare time) - it's about time I got off the MT default templates anyway.
