Technically Speaking

Ok all, I have been trying to have this blogsite work with a MySQL database and it hasn’t been converting over nicely. So I am at the point where I have to create a new database and continue on blogging, leaving behind all that I have blogged about before. What does this mean? Well, all of my entries are on this server in my individual pages. Those will stay as is. If you have links to those entries, they will still work. Unfortunately, since the actual posts are not in the new database, you will not be able to search this site for any old articles. This seems to be the only option I have left, cutting off a leg to save the body. I will be working on this site for the next few days to get everything configured pretty much back to the way it was, so bear with me. Hopefully I can be back to normal by Friday. Wish me luck!

Thank you to Simon, at Bloggedup.com, for trying his best to get this all working with MySQL. There is something corrupt in my old MT setup that prevents a smooth conversion. Simon has work all weekend to get this back to normal but it just isn’t possible. So onward we go.
