Most of you may not notice, but I've been using the new default design templates for this blog, and I apologize because I have no intention of customizing it until the final version of this blog software is released. Please bear with this generic design for a few more weeks (actually, I kind of got used to it).

P.S. If you see a lot of other blogs that look just like mine, it's because they are all copying me.

We have successfully moved to our new webhost, Dreamhost. Our old host, iPowerweb, was cheap but there was way too much downtime, we were running out of room for all the sites we host, and their customer service was horrible... Anyway, with some coupon codes I found on the web, this Dreamhost account ended up being cheaper for two years than if I had renewed for another single year at iPower! So, I'm happy. Thanks to Gen Kanai for recommending Dreamhost. Shell access totally kicks ass!

Unfortunately, I do not have time to tweak the looks of my site all at once, so changes will come gradually (starting with my blogroll, I guess). This blog may change colors every time you see it for the next few months are so, which is annoying, I know, but bear with me.

That's right, we're running beta software, baby! The MT upgrade took longer than it should have because of a weird FTP glitch that prevented all the necessary files from being transferred to the server; it was driving me crazy trying to figure it out, but it all worked out in the end.

I have to say, waiting this long to upgrade had its merits - it's been like riding around in a new car for the past half hour. So many new gadgets and features I had no idea I needed until I tried them! I may have even found an alternative hack for my sidebar photos.

Anyway, we can't get too settled here yet; the move to a new webhost is still coming. Soon. Ah, it's nice to know I at least got this tempermental software to work once, though!

I'm working on the site from now - just upgrading MT in preparation for the transfer. Fingers crossed...

I plan on moving this site to another webhost this week, so there will be some downtime. I may also switch blogging platforms... Anyway, don't be alarmed if we are down for a while, I have to do some gnarly things to start preparing for the move.
