Greetings! The new version of the site is live and mostly kicking.

I made the decision to switch to the new version of Movable Type after some major issues with both installs of WordPress. This, combined with the decision to unite my blog and my front page, will mean little to you, dear reader. But I will explain the few differences anyway.

The first difference is that there is no longer a front page and a blog, instead both are now a part of the main site. There is still a shortened version of the linkroll and my latest Twitter post are in the sidebar (and both are still pulled into my tumblelog, along with whatever random crap I run across on the net). The most recent blog posts are listed in truncated form on the front page.

The change that most will not notice is that the site is now rendered in static html files, rather than being entirely virtual and rendered using php, as WordPress handled things. This will hopefully mean slightly shorter load times, and none of the odd, random issues that plagued the previous version towards the end. It also means that if something goes wrong with the software that runs the site, the site will still be live and accessible.

There are still some issues with the import of the data from my old blog, mainly due to some formatting of characters like quotation marks. I will try to fix these over the next few weeks. If you see any of them, feel free to let me know.

It took a bit to convert the andreas01 by Andreas Viklund template over to work with Movable Type; that was in fact where most of the conversion time went. Like it? Hate it? See any mistakes or stuff I missed? Let me know in the comments or drop me an email or a Facebook message.

Hope you all like the new site and good day to you all.
