I haven’t posted anything new, although so much has changed in my life lately.\u00c2\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

Turns out the company (and author) of the blogging software I’d been using, iblog, has left it in a semi-finished state that won’t run on Leopard (MacOS X 10.5); I’ll never buy anything from them again and suggest you don’t either.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve spent a couple weeks deciding what to do, looking around, and getting bummed out over how much I’d have to do to move my blog someplace else.<\/p>\n

I found an online article on converting to wordpress from iblog<\/a>, so I found a copy of agitprop<\/a> (the original homepage for this is gone, but this link seems to work right now), converted my older iblog (no link provided for iblog – they don’t deserve it) entries using that and then copy-pasted the rest of the entries in.<\/p>\n

Well, I’m on WordPress and like it so far.\u00c2\u00a0 I no longer worry about the format of the blog (and I really don’t care for that kind of CSS work anyway) and get to spend more time writing (which is one thing I wanted from doing a blog).<\/p>\n

I’m going to switch the links on my web site now, and away we go!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
