hardly anything at all and never updated :)
Aka, I finally sat down and did the very simple Wordpress installation 
It wasn’t any problem at all and now I have a nice trendy installation that:
However, that is always a fun thing to look at and is something to do over the next few days - always assuming I stop levelling my undead Priest….

A lazy Sunday morning when you’re not oncall, down the South Coast of NSW and generally relaxing doing nothing is wonderfull. A reminder that sometimes, just sometimes, there may be more to life than Linux (although probably not and why am I even thinking that….).
I’ve reverted my main templates (styles-site.css and index.html) back to pre mt3.2 settings to make the site consistant again. Although this has now broken the archives (well, not broken specifically but made them rather ugly). This is just while I figure out the new way of doing things in the new Movable Type and work out if I actually need any of it. However in saying that, the new style library is very nice and the style catcher plugin makes changing your “look” very easy.
List of issues to be fixed (due to my incompetence, not the product) are:
Now to actually do some of that.

Finally, after having been thinking about this since September (having just found the previous archives I created then), I’ve sat down and actually gone through the (very easy) steps necessary to upgrade Movable Type from 3.14 -> 3.2.
It was an easy process - I didn’t even have to go through the whole “template refresh” process from last time as SixApart have added a nice “refresh templates to 3.2″ section.
Mind you, so much has actually changed in MT 3.2 that I now have to sit down and puzzle through a rebuild of my old look (which is now so old it is very dated).
Oh yes, and the significance of this post is it is not only my first post in 2005 but the fact that my job role is once again changing slightly and I might have the necessary free time to update this again
Although the down side and counter argument to that is World of Warcraft is still sucking all available time as is trying to play Star Wars Galaxies…
Ho hum.

The upgrade of MT 2.6 to 3.1 was indeed painless (aside from not having the tmpl directory in the right location). Everything just worked…my existing templates were kept, entries stayed the same, the only thing I’m not sure about is whether the RSS/Atom feeds went haywire.
I then went looking for information on exactly what else might be needed to properly complete the upgrade. After all, everything stayed the same but there might be some new interesting things that I wasn’t taking advantage of. I ended up finding some very nice links indeed:
Now I need to sit down and start looking at moving the templates to seperate files so I can start putting them under subversion version control.
I then also need to keep reading my CSS book so I can start thinking about how to do a redesign of this site.
