Good tidings to thee and thy kin.  Wonder of wonders behold — I finished moving all of the posts over from the old site.

I bet you spit out your vodka & tonic, didn't you?  Yes, I suspect it surprises you as much as it exhilarates me.

It's taken longer than I would have liked but not longer than I thought.  There was simply too much cleanup that needed to be done with the vast majority of the entries, from updating all of the links that pointed to previous posts to changing a lot of the CSS class data to updating most of them to XHTML to changing all of the manual formatting so it would work with WordPress to… well, you get the idea.

I'm thrilled to orgasm that I've finished that piece of the migration.  Truly thrilled.  I'll go clean up presently.

The old FAQ data has also been moved over now, although there is significant work to be done on all of that static data in the new About section.

There's also the question of the new gallery.  While I have decided on what gallery software to utilize here, I've not moved beyond downloading and unarchiving it and doing some rudimentary investigation on how to get it up and running.  That's why all of the migrated posts which point to the old gallery still have the now invalid links in them.  It's no small relief or compensation that it'll be easier for me to locate and update all of them as long as I keep the original gallery links intact. (It simply reminds me that there is still much work to be done.)

I hope to make some progress on the gallery now.  I'm continually tweaking the theme as I'm still not happy with it.  There is still new functionality I want to implement.  I need to fix the formatting on the new print pages.  I'm having some bizarre issues with the Random Thoughts functionality and may test a few other solutions.  The list goes on…

Bloody fingers be damned; I'm marching on.
