Upgradation

I’m going to attempt to upgrade to the new Movable Type (my blogging software) today, so things are liable to get a bit dicey around here. Or not, but let’s not jinx it. It’s the “release candidate” version of the software, meaning that it’s out of beta, but not quite the final release. In other words, it’s still in beta, but it seems stable enough that I’m going to give it a try. See you on the other side (and soon, I hope).

Update: Upgrade complete. Sorta. Some of my template tags appear to be throwing errors. If you’re reading this, then I’ve figured it out, but it’s annoying that this worked with MT3.3 and is broken now.

Again Update: It appears that the comments popup is no longer supported. Indeed, they deprecated its use a long time ago, and it’s been acting funky ever since, so now when you click on “comments” you go to the individual post page (anchored down to the comments section). To be honest, I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but I’ve never gotten around to it. Anyways, I’m still putzing around with the new system. Lots of interface changes make everything seem strange again, but I’m not sure if they’re for the better or not.

Yet Another Update: Lots of breakage in the archives. I still have to switch over the comments to the new style links, and it seems that MT4 and Opera don’t play well together when it comes to the template editor, as I managed to screw up this page (should be fixed now) and some other templates (still working on them). There are a bunch of annoying bugs that only seem to affect Opera, and I’m finding it frustrating.

One More Update: All the archives should be pretty much fixed, but there might still be some issues here or there that I’m not aware of yet.
