Everything old is new again

As you can see there have been a few changes here. Nothing too spectacular.

I upgraded to Movable Type 4. Initially confusing, I think I’ll come to appreciate the new features. It took some time figuring out where what was, as templates have been ripped apart in modules and I’ve never quite been able to figure out the logic in MT’s stylesheets.

There’s one thing I’ve been unable to do and that is to create a new navigation bar above the header, just a black bar exactly as wide as the header… it should be simple and somehow it isn’t. If anyone is familiar with MT’s new stylesheets and thinks they can help me out here, let me know, please.

 I still have to move over the second half of the archives from my old installation (and I do recommend a fresh MT4 installation instead of an upgrade) and redo some of the old includes and widgets.

Another thing that’s changed is the site’s title. We’re back to the old prolific.org domain. You know what they say: once a prol always a prol.

Some stuff I’ve run into while moving to MT4:

  • The Feeds.app plugin no longer works.
  • I don’t like wysiwyg editors at all

I just finished installing Movable Type 4.0!

Welcome to my new blog powered by Movable Type. This is the first post on my blog and was created for me automatically when I finished the installation process. But that is ok, because I will soon be creating posts of my own!
