Redesign V
Sunday, February 13th, 2005 at 11:53 pmSo much better! I’ve moved everything to erikmoe.com and ditched that buggy iBlogger software in favor of WordPress 1.5. I’m loving it so far. And, as you can hopefully see, I even built a hot little flash animation to keep our mascot, “Boxman” in the scene. A bunch of the older posts got munched in the translation. I’ll need to go back and fix them soon. Otherwise, everything looks to be working smoothly. I also tried out Movable Type 3.15 briefly, but kept running into undocumented glitches in the installation of MT and the add-ons I would have needed. I might play with it more for other projects, but if you are thinking about installing blog software on your website, I would definitely reccommend WordPress at this point. WordPress 1.5 is still in beta testing, though there are a ton of people using it. All indications are that the final, official release is due in a matter of days or weeks (not months).

Just got my first chance to look at the new layout in Windows IE. There are some subtle color shifts and misalignments going on that need to be fixed. Headquarters has been alerted and assures me that the customer assurance division is working on the issue. Please stand by… Oh. Yeah… This new setup allows for comments. Shoot away.
