Asymptomatic

As many new visitors may know, I recently created this chart showing the various features of weblog software that is available. I want to answer some common questions I've been getting in email about the chart, and tell you finally what I decided to use and why. more

Thanks to Slashdot, the chart made #3 on Daypop today. Whee!

Also, #45 on 24-hour blogosphere.us. It was probably higher when I wasn't looking. Drat. Now I'm wishing I had trackback/pingback on that page so I could see who all linked to it. Oh, well.

With the new site design, you might be wondering where everything got to. Some things were removed and some things were modified, so it's probably a good idea for me to point out some things. more

Here are some sample photos for wp-photos. more

Sometime yesterday I swtiched the whole site over to WordPress from PageCat. This was no small feat. PageCat's database is much more flexible that WordPress - all of the fields are custom fields that fill in a user-defined template. WordPress has fixed fields for this purpose. (Yes, I know that WP has custom fields, but there is currently no easy way to display posts from different categories using different code that includes these custom fields.)

Anyway, the site should be completely online now, with comments preserved and everything. All of the old URLs should still point to the old articles. There will be a few glitches here and there, I'm sure, but you should still be able to read everything.

Some new things: I signed up for an account with Audioblog, so you should soon see posts that contain an audio gadget. This service lets me add entries to the page by calling a phone number and leaving a message....
