Twiddle lee la lee. I’m finally finish with revamping my site. How you like the look? It took about a week. Though it did require calling in the reinforcements to help me out with some plugins and css clean up. But I tried to do as much as I can myself.

It is done. The finally transition from Textpattern to Wordpress. Before the switch i did a lot of research on the topic. It seems that most people that commented on the topic had moved back to Wordpress (WP). And to export your blog out of Textpattern (TP) or Blogger was going to be messy with the Wordpress import. So it was just faster to republish everything. Well over 400 + entries. I just did that this past July when I moved from Blogger to Textpattern. I must admit the template system on Wordpress rocks compare to Textpattern. You can edit different sections a whole easier. The learning curve of Textpattern is just insane. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to properly get my archives working. And documentation is just crap. Do yourself a favor and just stick with Wordpress.

At some point we all have to move off of Blogger. Xanga and LiveJournal are definitely not an option. It would be taking a step back. I guess it has a community thing. But that’s about it. Most people look to move Movable Type, WordPress or Textpattern. Who really wants to deal with Perl or pay to use Typepad. Enough of ranting. If you’re thinking of switching I highly recommend WordPress. In the end, it’s still going to be a pain in the ass moving your blog to another blogging software. Can I say argh!

M. Butterfly: Thanks for your help with the comment addition to my page.

So last night, Mr. Social Butterfly aka M. Butterfly, suggested that I put a comment link on my blog. Hmm… I think his suggestion was a bit subjective. I know he’s ready and willing to make tons of comments on my page. So will Jazzy and the Contessa of Fashion. I know you’ll can’t help yourself. Hmm.. maybe that’s why I haven’t put a comment link. Comments or no comments.

We’ll see.

So I decided, to put a site meter on my blog. Not that I’m vain or anything. I just was kind of curious how many hits I was getting. Only, 5 hits. Yeah, I’m so unpopular, but whatcha expect. Anyway, I had lunch with an old high school friend of mine. She got a job at Time Warner in midtown, so she’ll be leaving the Soho area. Bah! Just when I start working downtown, she’s leaving. But it’s all good.

I was going to go back to the specific dates of the event and post my entry for that date. But unfortunately, I haven’t been able to do that. So I give up! That leaves me here right now. All frustrated with blogger already.
