Last night I finally hunkered down and ported this blog from blogger to Movable Type. Nothing exciting design-wise, just a more functional (I hope) layout with some long overdue new features (categories, search, custom feeds, tags, etc).
I've only tested on Safari and Firefox, so if there's any wonkiness in Internet Explorer (or just in general) let me know. There is still quite a bit of fine tuning to be done and a few features I want to add. I also need to get busy tagging/categorizing old entries.
Jenn hates the new design (or lack of design) by the way ("is it finished?" she asks).... Ultimately I don't think the design matters much as the vast majority of you read this site via RSS.

Ouch! This may be true, but as a web designer I must still protest. Perhaps I should start designing CSS-customizable RSS readers...
Elegant new design. Very nice.

i really like the new design... clean and thoughtful. I especially like that you sort monthly archives chronologically (most blogs show the latest entry first which is maddening) which allows one to read them in order like a book. being a feed reader myself my one small suggestion would be to include the entire post in the feed (I've noticed that posts with extended content like this one do not fully display in the feed).
As a longtime lurker I am once again impressed with the broadness of your skills. Your writing and photography skills are humbling, and now I discover you are a grade a designer and geek. What are you bad at?
Love your new design!
just testing the new comment system
