Testing Out WordPress?
If you’re like me, you might be relatively lost in the main index template of WordPress. Ok, seriously lost. Especially if you converted from MT. However, reading this will help you understand the ins-and-outs of the main index template. The comments included in it are wonderful, and I don’t feel quite so lost now.
It also comes in handy if you are a dork like me and you edit code that you shouldn’t have touched in the first place. Oops. All fixed now.
Pixelog had been converted to WP, but it’s not pretty yet. Not like it used to be. Matt started to cry when he saw that the site was still in tables. He said he can get it back to how it used to look, but it will take more time to twiddle with then we had today. Soon, very soon. No one reads the site anyways, since I haven’t posted new photos since December, 2003. Sad, I know. Soon. As soon as the conversion is complete.
I just have to say, this baby is FAAAAAAAAST!

Drumroll, Please…
Matt is here, and we have converted the 3500+ entry blog to WordPress! He was impressed with how fast Blogomania handled the import of all of my posts, only having a memory timeout issue towards the end.
Skins haven’t been brought back online yet. The default design needs some tweaking, including bringing in the Pixelog photos on the top. First we have to import Pixelog to WordPress too, then the rest of my blogs will fall into place.
For now, it’s time for lunch. Because the best way to get Matt’s help is to offer him a really good meal.

Wedding Photos!
PhotoMatt has posted his wedding photos! Feel free to browse through them.
I promise, I’ll post some of my own soon. Along with house photos, Tiara Happy Hour photos and honeymoon photos. Yes, I have a lot of photo editing in my near future!

Just Call Me FireFoxy…
First, my confession. If you are one of those people that watches the log files to see what browsers people use, I am a diehard IE user. (If you are really a fanatic about watching things like that, you probably knew that already.) People have tried to convince me to switch, but I have just never given in. Sites don’t always look pretty on Firefox. I used tabbed browsing back in 1996 with Opera, and just prefer IE. I’m used to having 10+ browser windows open at one time, and with tabs I tend to close the main window instead of just a tab. The list just goes on and on.
Tonight, while surfing along, I came across Scott Andrew’s tech site, Delimiter, thanks to Ernie. I decided to go to Scott’s main page to check things out and maybe listen to some of his music. (Good stuff there, if you ask me.) However, there is a nice little warning that I should stop using IE on the top of the page. “Hey! If you’re using Internet Explorer, you’re exposing yourself to viruses that can steal your personal information, banking passwords and more.” Then a link leads me to his tales of woe and cybertheft, giving me a good solid reason to leave IE behind. Yeah, I had heard it all before, but this finally sank in. Internet Explorer is Dangerous.
He links to many sources that convince me even more. I have downloaded FireFox, and as soon as I close out my 17 browser windows, I’ll go back and read the Introduction to Firefox tutorial.
Today Firefox (and probably Thunderbird too), tomorrow WordPress. What’s next? My head is almost spinning from all the possibilities!
UPDATE: Yeah, I’ve been holding out because I’m not a huge fan of tab browsing. Brilliant. When you right click, you can choose “Open in New Window” in Firefox. You can even make that a permanent setting. Doh!
