The update went off nearly without a hitch, though for a nail-biting moment there I expected to lose all my archives. The old MT installation was so buggy that I couldn't import/export a complete entries backup file, so I spent a while copying out old posts mentioned in artists' CVs. But it worked! I haven't tricked out all the templates yet, so a few pages (the search results, for example) still look wonky.
Comments are up! Try them out! Lurker amnesty, whatever!
Also added a simple banner to the top of the page. I'm grateful for the designs a couple readers sent me in response to a post a week or two ago, and I'm keeping them in mind. For the moment, I like the clean look for spring. The hope is that it isn't making your monitors tilt or anything. Special thanks to David for all his Photoshop help over the weekend.
Posted by Kriston at February 21, 2006 12:45 PMone more piece of photoshop help: use a PNG or a GIF. Your JPEG's got a little aliasing going on around the curves.
Posted by: tom at February 21, 2006 3:30 PMK, I'm not seeing any aliasing here on my machine, but the screen's pretty hi-rez. Let me know if you'd like that as a gif. Easy to do.
Posted by: David at February 21, 2006 4:12 PMThanks for the catch, Tom. I think I accidentally changed it to JPG when I cropped it this morning. I'll fix it.
