Almost There – MT Upgrade Woes
I’m getting closer to where I want to be. I’ve modified the template a bit, and changed a few things. Now there’s a left column and a right column. I’m having some font issues, but they’re secondary to functionality issues. I think I’ve handled the functionality, so I’ll fix the fonts next. There are still a couple little things to work on once I get the fonts fixed, but for the most part, the site is now fully operational like I want it.
Moveable Type is a whole new system to get used to. Since it doesn’t have all of the extras that Postnuke did, which I didn’t need, it’s a lot simpler to learn. I don’t get to un-learn the PostNuke stuff yet, though, because that side of the site is still operating normally as well.
All in all, I’d say this has been a fairly painless upgrade. Managing the site on this system is already much simpler. I’m going to like this.
UPDATE: Font problem fixed. Layout cleaned up to work with the fonts. I think I’m done, and I learned a couple new things about HTML and CSS in the process. I’m not a big fan of overly graphical websites, when text is what you’re selling. That makes the design process simpler, and I think it makes a better blog.
By the way, I know the page is huge. It will take about a week for it to clean up. I imported 120 stories from the PostNuke site into this one, and they’re all listed for one day, so EVERY story is currently on the front page. I could fix it, but I’d have to go through and modify the date on every post, so I’ll just wait it out.
