Take Two

October 19th, 2009

To all six of my devout readers, I’ve started the blog again from scratch. A number of mistakes were made with the first incarnation. The first being MovableType. It’s what all the cool kids were using, so I decided to give it a shot. After customizing the design and blogging for almost a year, I still don’t have the faintest idea how MovableType actually works. This version is running a custom Wordpress template that took all of two seconds to figure out.

The second mistake was the pacing of the posts. I started off posting ~four articles a month, and multiple sidebar links a day. Obviously that wasn’t sustainable, and the site quickly fell into despair. Expect a more leisurely pace this go around.

I’m also dropping support for IE6. Unfortunately, once rounding is taken into effect, this means I’ll lose one of my six devout readers. Sorry buddy; You’ll be missed, but that’s the way she goes. You’re welcome to come back if you update your browser.
