Movable Type

If you are perceptive, you may notice that the blog looks a little different today. If you aren’t perceptive, then you won’t notice a thing, and reading the rest of this won’t matter a bit to you. You can go.

If you are still here, that means that you are 1) not colour blind, and 2) not a moron. I managed to get Movable Type going on the weekend and I think it’s a big win. Hasta la Vista, Blogger. For a free service, they really treated me like they never took a dollar from me or something. It’s like they didn’t owe me anything, the way they acted. Sheesh.

Anyway, Movable Type is a real software product you can buy, or you can completely cheap out and run an older version for free. Knowing me as you do, you can be sure that I value the work that goes into a product like this and the sheer nerve of not rewarding that effort made it a clear decision in my mind to do the right thing.

So, I cheaped out and picked the free one, and it really rocks.

I still have some setup to do on the templates, getting the tracking back and the Flickr badge which I think is fun, but mostly we’re up and running. The look is a bit different, I’m open to suggestions and feedback of course, which I will immediately ignore because I’m like that.

Anyway, that’s that, blog life should be good as long as the router stays up…
