Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Welcome to WordPress!

Not everything is perfect here just yet, but it’s getting there. Aaron is single-focused, and he will not rest until everything works perfectly. Blogger has been such a pain in the butt lately, and Aaron was eager to learn some of the new programming needed to use WordPress. I’m not all that sure about the deets, but so far, it’s making me pretty darn happy!

Regarding comments…

Comments were the greatest challenge of migration away from Blogger. I have been using Haloscan comments for a while, and I like them, but I REALLY like the idea of having full control of comments, full ownership, and having them all on my server, not on someone else’s. The solution Aaron came up with was to keep the Haloscan comments accessible and also setting up the new commenting system. I’d like it if you could all view those old comments as read-only. They are really archival. The new comments (the ones you get to by clicking SAY SOMETHING) are the ones I’d like you to use now.

I hope you like the new digs. I’m pretty excited! 😀

I will never ignore you, Aaron! Unless there’s a really cool bright shiny…

Oh look! A penny!

Yay for Aaron and his big brain!

Now if we can only get him to update *his* blog :-p

P.S. We’re getting our RTW tickets soonsoonsoon, which I think will include some free stops in North America (it’s a continent-based system). Want some visitors in Boston in October?

Nice job on importing the template from Blogger to WordPress Aaron. Very nice indeed.

So how do you like WordPress Abby? Is it all you hoped it would be… and more? It’s so nice to be able to say “Screw You Blogger” isn’t it?

There’s a slight learning curve, but I’m VERY happy with several of the features, especially the ability to categorize and the much-improved and integrated comments. I’ll let Aaron speak to the difficulty level of the migration, as I had fuck-all to do with it! 😀

Oh, and yes, I’m TOTALLY enjoying the “Screw you, Blogger” action!

Sweet. There’s also a “Pages” feature that I sort of like. You can set up static pages for reference, like an About page or something.
