Welcome to the new weblog!
The other day I was thinking that my site was starting to look a little cluttered, and I wanted to clean it up a little. At the same time, I was thinking of changing my blogging software. So I did both.
The old blog (still here) was run using Personal Weblog, which was suitable for my purposes for a long time. However, I’ve decided to switch to WordPress for a number of reasons.
I’m still playing with the design, so some things may still change. The other pages on the site are going to get cleaned up a little. There are a few WordPress plugins I might try out (including one to give me my topic icons back.) I moved in all the entries from 2005 from the other blog, and I’ll move the rest in as soon as I can figure out how to do it without having to re-timestamp and re-categorize all 400 of them.
The new URL is:
http://slithytoves.sytes.net/~dave/wordpress
However, eventually www.legomancer.net will point there as well. I think.
The most notable difference to you the reader is the ability to become you, the commenter. This new blog software has comments, and I’ve enabled them on a trial basis. Since my readership is pretty small, I don’t expect much from them, but who knows? You may learn about all kinds of online pharmacies and casinos with them!
We’ll see how this transition works out…
Do I get a prize for the first comment?
Woot! New blog. Let me just say that I really like the bumps or buttons (what’s the appropriate lego terminology?) of the left hand column. Cool.
And I’ve syndicated it to Livejournal as Legomancer2, handily replacing Legomancer (the old feed).
