For those that haven't noticed, I finally blogified the main page. I went live with it on Sunday night. And, then waited. To see who would notice first. Or, at any rate, who would say something to me first...which is very likely pretty much the same thing. Heh. Anyway, my money was on Mom. But, Kate was the first one to notice. Sort of. We were on the phone this afternoon and she looked at the page, trying to find the Plumbago photo on my Photobox. The moment she opened my page, she commented that it looked different and she couldn't find the Photobox link. Heh. She didn't know what was different...just that something was different. So, I told her about setting things up using Movable Type so the archives and all would be archived automatically. Making my life easier. Then, Mom sent a note later this afternoon thanking me for switching so she could read in her newsreader. So, I'm giving half a point to each of them. Katie gets half a point for noticing there'd been a change and Mom gets half a point for understanding the change. What they can do with those half points is beyond me.
A note about the change. I did my best to keep the general feel of the page the same. And, I spent way too much time between Friday and Sunday moving all the old content into the Movable Type database. Almost everything was moved over. There were a few posts that made no sense so they didn't survive the switch. I'd linked to something and made a comment that no longer had any context. In those cases, the link was dead and the comment gave little clue to as to why I'd linked. So, I ended up ditching those posts...there were only two or three of 'em. It was funny to me to see the ruts I got into.
So, welcome. And, let me know if you notice anything that doesn't work or doesn't make sense.
Oh. One more thing. No comments. That's a deliberate choice on my part. This is a personal page. I rarely post anything that warrants a comment. Feel free to drop me a line if you want to say something to me about something I post. My email address appears at the bottom of every post (click on my name) and is at the top of the right-hand column on the main page. My photo and baseball blogs are much more likely to warrant comments from time to time (especially the baseball blog) but, quite frankly, I'm not much interested in "fostering community" or carrying on a conversation here. Nor do I have the energy to monitor a comment section. So, no comments.
Onward.
