I never realized how apt the term "hacking" was to dealing with computer and internet related things. Just trying to make a few simple changes to the old blog here results in hours of hack hack hack. In between those hacks are lots of curses, breaks, and near tears. I wish I understood web design and terminology better. I wish Movable Type had better online documentation about how to do things. Too much of their documentation assumes that you've been using MT for years and understand all of the special language, tags, and such.
I think I finally completed what I started a year ago with the upgrade to MT 5.whatever. There is now a parent website (drgirlfriend.com) and separate blogs for knitting (drgirlfriend.com/knits) and exercise (drgirlfriend.com/dr_girlfriend_exercises/). Both of those are collected at the blogs site (drgirlfriend.com/blogs). All of the pages and blogs have the same look, which is sleeker and more professional than my previous attempts at coding and styling. There's a dedicated page for the old archives from my first blog (though those archives are still broken without all the pics and links, but that's likely to be their permanent state now). I've got a nice little "about" page.
Hopefully your links will still get you here (all 2 of you who might still be reading). I hope the RSS still works. I've got it hooked into my google reader, so if this doesn't appear there, I'll have to figure that out somehow.
6+ hours over two days and what you see is the result. Let's hope it stays functional for a while!
