You might notice that things look a little different here. I made the switch to the Geeklog software. I still have lots of minor tweaking to do, but I think everything is basically functional now.<\/p>\n
\nThe fun part was getting all the entries from the old blog into this one. I was
\nthinking about writing a script that would enter all the old text into the new
\ndatabase. But the database layout turned out to be more complex than I thought,
\nso I finally decided that it would probably be quicker just to paste them all
\ninto the regular posting screen. I had to tweak the code a little to get it to
\nallow me to backdate each entry to when it was originally posted.
\nGeeklog provides several different appearance \\"themes\\" to control what the pages
\nlook like Registered users can select one of the available themes if they don\\’t
\nlike the default one. If you don\\’t register, you get the MMMClassic theme, which
\nis a slightly customized version of the Classic theme which was provided with
\nthe software.
\nI\\’m still playing with some of the switches controlling who can do what. As of
\nnow, anonymous (unregistered) users can see everything here, but adding comments
\nrequires registration. You\\’re welcome to read anonymously, but you have to come
\nout of the woodwork if you want to be heard. I copied the comments that had been
\nadded previously. They\\’re tagged as \\"anonymous user\\" because the comment form
\nhas no place for an unregistered user to enter a name (one of the reasons I\\’m
\nrequiring registration for comments). I added the names provided by the
\ncommenters into the text of the comments, so they\\’re not really anonymous.
\nI decided to create a few posting categories (or topics as Geeklog calls them).
\nI\\’m not sure all my posts will fit neatly into one of the topics; a lot of them
\nmay end up in Miscellaneous. If you get tired of my babbling on a particular
\ntopic, you can select not to view those posts.
\nAnother benefit of registration is that you can request email notification about
\nnew posts. The notification is not immediate; it runs periodically (probably daily)
\nand includes all new posts on your selected topics since the previous notification.
\nI\\’m still learning how some of this stuff works, so there may be some little
\nsurprises. Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
