For those regular readers of mine, I’ve recently moved from a very poor hosting provider to one that seems pretty decent. The web forums are great for filtering out the losers in the crowd … and there are quite a few of them out there. Take a look at WebHostingTalk forums for a quick sanity check. Do a search on any provider and just read the top 5 or so. Had I done that last winter, I wouldn’t have been in the spot I’m in now. It’s not fun screen-scraping all the pages and re-building my mt database.
Please bear with me as I migrate all of my old content into this new database. I’m upgrading to MT 3.0 as well – it has some nice features. The nice thing about the new host (totalchoicehosting.com) is that they have the ImageMagick libraries and perl modules installed so I can do some photo-blogging. Stephanie really wants to do some of this too, so it’s important to upgrade.

A search on TotalChoice

I see you went with the classic ’3 column’ presentation.
TypeKey – UGH! I had to sign up to annoy you! My solution to spam, was I renamed the comments.cgi in MT. Yes, people who phisically enter spam still can, but I haven’t had any since.
I guess Typekey is the future….
I expect lots of pictures on this new weblog.
I’ve been looking at various designs, and I like a lot of the stuff over at the css zen garden (http://www.csszengarden.com/) … I especially like one that is a take off on golden age comics:
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=http://dynsol.wpc.net/dbjorgen/csszengarden/goldenagecomics/goldenagecomics_backup2.css
But Stephanie doesn’t think it fits our tastes … we’ll see
Actually, the GoldenAge page does look pretty cool. Or Maybe a ‘Strawberry Shortcake’ theme.
You should go with a 3 column layout, with 2 main entry columns(His/her). One done in the Golden Age layout, the other in something tasteful.
You can use Greg and Stephanie categories to sort them.
Oh, the problem with the Zenn CSSs stuff is it’s not many of them are suitable for dynamic postings – IE Blogs.
interesting site,ive just read hannibal the book and watching the film at present also seen silence of the lambs havent seen red dragon but someone at work says man hunt is a better film,there is something very interesting in hannibal lector,hes clever has a wicked sense of humour/dont know if humour is the right word there but his revenge always has a twist.anthony hopkins is very convincing in this roll.in the book he has photographic memory and can travel into a building in his mind,storage of memories.it interests me too why murders murder what drove them there,dennis nielson in uk is a very interesting case,sad childhood death of his father figure his grandad,was a buthcher soldier policeman ,strange case,and i think your right knowledge is power,never hide any thing it only comes back.
