Big News: New Blog System!
I'm very pleased to announce the move of my website from phpBB to Movable Type. The site should load faster, work better, look cleaner, and will even wash your dog, too.
Okay, maybe that last thing was an exaggeration. But everything else is true.
I'm working to bring all my blogs, from the day I started blogging in February 2002 to yesterday, over to the new system. As much as I like phpBB for forums, it's not meant to be a blog tool. Movable Type just spanks it all over the place. I'll be adding a photo gallery soon.
Anyway, back to school and after that, finishing converting all my old robhulson.yi.org blogs. Then, on to the phpBB blogs.
Oh, and please try commenting. It should be a lot easier now.

Very impressive, Rob. I’m looking forward to reading some of your past posts.
I’ve looked around your site, but I don’t see an email address to send this to, or I would use that.
The only thing I noticed about your new site (which looks great, btw) is the border around the xhtml validated icon. If you add ‘BORDER=”0”’ to your tag, that will take that away and look a bit smoother. (i.e. <img src="wherever" border="0">)
Keep up the good work!

What browser are you using, Jon? It wasn’t showing up in Safari. Also, refresh the page; I added an encoded email link.
I changed the icon to something(s?) different, and until Scripturizer outputs ampersands correctly, I’ll be stuck in non-compliance. Better take it off for now.

Mozilla Firebird 0.8 on Linux and Windoze. Also checked it on IE 6.0. Still shows a blue border. I’ve used Safari on my wife’s G4 — very nice.
