And we’re back…

New blogging software, streamlined design, probably a bug or two. I’m still testing and adding things but I wanted to turn my “broked it” page off, so here we are.

I’ve transitioned away from textpattern and onto expression engine. Textpattern has been great to work with over the past 6 years or so but it hasn’t evolved much lately. I was looking for a bit more customization ability and ee seems to provide that. Hopefully I won’t regret the decision.

The main rss feed should pick up again, so there shouldn’t be a reason to change your links unless you want to subscribe to one of the new feeds which will be up sometime in the future.

Things I know don’t work (and will fix as soon as I have time): Preview on comments. Nav highlight on the about page.

Things I plan on adding as I have time:

• rss feeds broken across categories (so if you don’t care about food and just want monsters, you can do that)
• content. As you might have noticed, all of the old articles are gone. The majority will come back, it’ll just take a bit of time to move them over.
• things in the shop. I have stuff to put up, just no time to do it so I’m hoping for early in the new year although if I get some time, perhaps before the holidays
• integration with my posterous blog. I have big plans for the new year if I can get this working.

So here we go. Late November refresh. Apparently I need to do this at least once a year. Let’s see if we can keep this one for awhile. I’ve purposely stripped away most of the “design” of the site so that it can accomodate whatever I happen to be fixated on at any moment.

If you happen to spot anything that I haven’t mentioned, let me know.
