Ok.. So I got's me a Movable Type weblog on my own frikkin' domain.
Why'd I do this? Well this blog has been around for about a year now and it hasn't died on it's ass which is an genuine rarity in Blogging terms. As a result I've comissioned a proper domain for it and moved it up to Movable Type.
People warned me that setting up MT is hard. I actually found it easy and uncomplicated but that's almost entirely down to Hostica my new host ,which has a spiffy MySQL wizard.
Oh apart from where I accidentally uploaded MT's image file in ASCII instead of in Binary and then flipped out thinking I had screwed up mt-load.cgi. I actually re-installed all of MT before realizing what the real reason was behind the lack of User Graphics.
I'll get to working on the CSS soon but I don't think I'll be using a carbon copy of my old one. For now I'll just be digging my domain :)
Later
John
