Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

If you're seeing stars, I can tell you that you're probably not looking at my work. I upgraded my Movable Type installation today, and while I get some things worked out I dropped in the RAWK! style by Liz Lubowitz. This is mainly to gain a fresh start, but it's entirely temporary.

Why did I choose to do this today? I have plenty of work to do, but I'm also having one more bad day in a series of bad days lately, and as a result I'm procrastinating. It's unwise and irresponsible, but I think I'm doing it because this is the one little corner of the universe that feels at all under my control at this point, where everything else — and I mean everything — feels utterly unmanageable.

Only Jenna Tollerson would put off working on websites by working on a website.

Between this gentleman's excellent tutorial and my new MT paid support, I have gotten my new MT3D installation (mostly) up and running.

Good things about the new install:

1. Pop-up windows are history.

2. In the process of converting I finally paid attention to what my templates are all about.
3. All comments now have to go through an approved/non-approved screening process for unregistered users (which, I suppose, could also be bad).

Bad things about the new install:

1. Comment preview is now totally buggy and won't work like it should (they are working on fixing it for the next version)

2. The long anticipated comment registration system, TypeKey, won't work with my page for whatever reason. I am troubleshooting it with MT, but in the meantime you should still get yourself a TypeKey id.

So there you have it. Tread lightly, and if you spot something else that isn't working like it should, do tell me.

And totally off-topic: my site looks so much better in FireFox. You should switch. IE will only continue to disappoint you.

I'm upgrading to Movable Type 3.0D, and instead of being totally seamless as other upgrades have been, it's turning into a bit of a nightmare.

Please bear with me while I get things working, and...

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

to Movable Type 2.51. Oh yeah.

And it only took like, 20 minutes! I feel so smart.
