I’m sure I missed something. Maybe I missed a couple of somethings. If I’m a bit lucky and a lot clever, though, I got our email and websites moved over to the new server without any major disasters or lost data.
Now it’s just a matter of tidying, tuning and double-checking the work. Perhaps after that I’ll be able to rest easy.
Easier, anyway.
The WordPress sites here have been updated to version 2.2.2.
[audio:muchrejoicing.mp3]A more substantive post is scheduled for tomorrow. Don’t miss it!
This is just a quick test to see if the following actually works:

As one travels along the so-called Sunset Highway, near the crest of the Sylvan hill one spots a sign advertising the presence of a church. I don’t have much use for churches in general, but this one amuses me.
Its logo consists, as near as I can tell, of the image of a white bird going down in flames. No, I’m not kidding. You see the stylized white dove (common Christian imagery, that) and above it is a wavy, spiky line that is supposed to denote… something. An aura, perhaps. It looks like nothing so much as a representation of fire.
Can anyone explain what may have possessed the designer to go with such a motif? I’m sure there’s a valid theological reason; I just can’t come up with an idea which doesn’t involve the concept of a church poking fun at itself.
I remain amused, of course.
I have installed a potentially interesting application – BlogJet. I used BlogDesk for a while but was generally underwhelmed by the formatting it generated, so I’m giving BlogJet its 30”“day evaluation period to either impress me or follow its predecessor into oblivion.
If nothing else, the software is prettier than anything else I’ve looked at in its category. Seriously.
There are also some pleasant features for WordPress users, such as the ability to retrieve X-number of recent posts for editing, cross-linking, tagging and such. (Yes, I could start using Technorati tags. I don’t know if I will, though, ”˜cause if I start down that road then I’ll want to go through the entire archive and just, no. Ugh.) One can natively drop in Flickr and YouTube material, but that’s not terribly useful to me at present since I don’t patronize those services. Someday, maybe.
Will this revolutionize the way I post to my journal? Will it at least spur me to post more often? I have no idea. I just like playing with stuff. I am, after all, a geek-dilettante.

(Uploading. Go figure. I think it has to do with some WordPress settings but I could be wrong.)
(Yes, it was the WordPress setting. Fixing that made uploading work, though the filename the picture ended up with isn’t quite what I had in mind. Oh well. Not bad for a first attempt, only requiring two edits to make everything happy.)
