With the site as broke as it was, I decided to redesign the site by Tuesday. I really thought I’d be able to finish a lot faster than I did. Worst of all, I started to get pretty lazy toward the end, so I am hoping to find some time to clean that up. Some of the typography isn’t very pleasing at this point.
I wanted to be able to post larger pictures and to not restrict myself to a 3:2 ratio. I really like vertical framing, so that was one of the bigger reasons. I also wanted to have a better way to post longer entries. Less scrolling is always good.
Anyway, no comments for now. Not before I install some sort of plug-in to block spam. That was a major annoyance. I’m running MovableType now instead of WordPress. Rebuilding was just as tedious as before, but I’m happy now that it’s all over with. I’m sure the site doesn’t validate or anything right now, but it should work.
I’m going to look into a way to import entries from WordPress to MovableType. It won’t be so great for the images since they are significantly smaller, but I want to get old text entries back. If worse comes to worst, I’ll possibly copy and paste everything in and change the dates. But it’s 2005, I’m sure that won’t be necessary.
