Sorry for the Interruption

I’m guessing that you guys don’t really want the details, but suffice it to say that my previous assertion that I had migrated everything over was, well, completely wrong.
But now we’re back on the air!
I think I’ve done it much better this time, but at this point, I’m through migrating old stuff. If you find broken links, let me know and I’ll do my best to fix them, but at this point, I’m pretty sure there’s nothing systematically wrong.
This post is also a test to see if images are uploading correctly from MarsEdit, which they are. If you’re on a Mac, you should give it a try if you’re in the market for blog software, and the guy who writes it, Daniel Jalkut, lives just across the river from me (in Somerville) and has a good twitter feed, too.
Also, Kelvin got Poster working from his phone, and it looks like Windows Live Writer is working, too.
And it looks like the mobile version is working fine, and is as big a hit with readers as they previously indicated it would be, so that’s good.
So let’s get posting!

You’ll notice some little changes I made recently, like the most recent comments on the front page, the collapsing archives (complete with # of posts within each time period), and the fact that the default post category is now “mobile posts,” since some mobile posting clients don’t support categories.

Cool, the recent comments feed is essential, except it doesn’t show up on the mobile version. Hmm, might consider diabling that for the comment feed.
Do Flickr posts get categorized as mobile posts also? Cool, if that’s the case.

Agreed re the comments feed. Over the weekend I checked and there’s no super-easy easy to put it into the mobile version, bit I’m sure I can hack it in.
And as for the flickr post category, I don’t know, try it! I just set the default post category to “Mobile Post,” we’ll see what that does!

OK, minor note. There’s no longer a link to log in to The Board. Looks like you might have just tweeted the solution. For posterity, I’ll leave this comment anyway.

Also, just got the gravatar thing going, which you’ll notice over to the side of this comment (assuming gravatars are always displayed on the site). If you want to get one, just go to the gravatar site and sign up some random email address (that you can check), upload a photo, then come back here and change your author email address to that one. Lemme know if you have problems.

@Jake Done. Since you had posted already, I thought you figured that out. That’s also where your profile and settings are.

OK, I’ll test it now that I’m logged in.
