Trying something new

So much to my chagrin, I decided to install Movable Type as a test. If you’re curious about what’s going on, and the frustration that has already began, you’re welcome to visit here.

It’s pretty to look at, the dashboard and such. But I’m having issues trying to figure out how to install other themes. I mean, WordPress makes it so easy. You download a theme. You put in into the theme folder as it’s own folder. You choose it as your theme. Tada! Done.

I stayed up FAR too late last night attempting to figure it out. I don’t care so much if it’s a “standard” theme. But I want it to at least be the one of my choosing. I have yet to figure out what I’m going to actually use that domain for anyway, but maybe if I can figure out how to make MT play nicely, I’ll use it as my “writer” site. Ah ha ha ha ha!

Me. Write! Now that would be good.

Hmmm… I like!

So WordPress has finally announced the launch of the 2.5 upgrade, and while I like to stay up to date (mostly so everything works properly) I decided that even though it’s only been a matter of hours, why the hell not.

So far, I actually really like the new Dashboard. It’s going to take some adjusting to, but it doesn’t seem as though ANY of my plugins are broken. And none of my current widgets are acting up.

I do like it.

Site Updates

Recently added a couple of plugins/widgets to the site.

The first is the Miniposts (aka, Asides) that I added to the sidebar. These are perfect for me to post about random dumb shit I find, or am interested in, or doing the “currently reading/listening” kind of crap without clogging up the main page with the “useless” posts.

And the second one is involves me going ahead and purchasing a Pro account with Flickr. Not because I wanted to waste my money on dumb things, and flush it down the toilet, but because I really am wanting to get more into photography, even just for fun and random crap.  Mostly I’m taking pictures with the cellphone, and I’m always surprised at the quality from it. I’ve honestly been considering purchasing a slightly better camera, with some sort of a zoom.

Because of this, I added the plicker v1.1 plugin as well. It should change the “random photo” every hour (though I could put second, minute, day, week, or whatever I want!)

Enjoy!
