More Forward Progress
I got my main blog template back! There are still plenty more things to do:
- Individual entry pages need to be "updated" to have my old "look and feel".
- My main archive page needs to be restored (I don't really like having all my archive links on the main page).
- My WIP blog that provides the feeds for my WIP listing in the side bar needs to be brought back online.
- Mourn the loss of my pop-up comment entry box -- it's not really supported by MT anymore
Add the Tag Cloud widget to my sidebar. The whole widget thing is a real improvement to template maintenance in MT4.That one was easier than I thought. It's already done you can scroll down and look in my side bar to see it in action.- Work on re-factoring my template a little bit to conform better to the MT4 templating system, which should make my templates easier to maintain.
- Back up the whole shebang
I've heard that a lot of people have had major problems upgrading to MT4. I used to use MT on my site, but after a certain point I decided I just couldn't cope with it anymore and switched to WordPress--which isn't better, just different.
Glad to see the blog looking a little more "normal" . I really enjoy your blog.
Maybe MT would even pay you for that book.
;-)
Not sure if you noticed, but when you click on the link to comment, it reverts to the "new", not your Keyboard Biologist template.
It's good to see things are moving in the right direction! Obviously there are still things to iron out (the reversion to the default MT template for individual entries) but it'll work out, I'm sure.
So nice to see you back.

AH! I had to follow you down the rosy path!
We look a lot alike right now ;p
I will tell you the saga of my database invoice after Cosmo #2...
Upgrades scare the pants off me. Good job!
