I’m now the proud owner of markbutler.info. Hopefully my hosting will be set up here soon, and I can begin to export my blog to the server.

I went with godaddy’s hosting. I wanted to go with slicehost, but I simply don’t have the time, connection, or resources to do upkeep on my own server from far away.  Maybe next year.

I also need to figure out how to change my wordpress folder from “wordpress” to “blog” without fucking everything up.

I’ve been thinking; What if I upload the content from my “legacy” site? Should I try and use these “Pages” that Wordpress is so kindly offering me? Problem is, I don’t know how I want these content pages to act. On the old site, I kinda had it set up as a seperate stream from my main blog.  I think I will transfer them over. Just don’t know how right now.  It’ll be alot easier than editing line-by-line though. Perhaps because that is true, I’ll post more stuff!

Stay Tuned.

I installed Opera 9.64 earlier today, so I could test the page functionality in all 5 browsers. I hate Opera. It’s ability to render fonts and colors is simply appauling. It might be that I’m running it off the web server, it might be because I’m using it thru remote desktop. It might be just because I’ve always hated the default tab placement in the browser (which you cannot change); what’s clear is that I’ll continue to hate it, regardless of the situation.

So I got Wordpress working! Which also means I got mySQL working, and myPHPAdmin, and Apache. Still have to get FileZilla working tho. It’s going to take alot of work to get this blog looking like the old one. But it’s so much easier to edit posts in this than in straight HTML.
