I think I have my Dreamhost prob­lems sorted - or at least the Mov­able­Type ones. I’ve switched all of the weblogs I main­tain (no, really, there’s more going on than you real­ize) to Mov­able­Type 3.17, and after tweak­ing some tem­plates and losing some fea­tures (tem­porar­ily), every­thing seems to be work­ing again.

I’m also trying out other blog­ging soft­ware for my site - I got Typo up and run­ning yes­ter­day, but it wouldn’t import my com­ments from Mov­able Type for some reason. I’d like to switch to that since I’d finally get a chance to learn Ruby on Rails, but it’s awfully spar­tan. I had Textpat­tern installed on my last host, for test­ing pur­poses, and it was fine, but I didn’t feel like learn­ing an entirely new tem­plat­ing language.

I was all set to try out Word­Press, but after the link-​farming inci­dent, I don’t really trust their dev team. I do like their default tem­plate (obvi­ously, and the work Michael is doing on K2 looks good as well. A bit blank, though.

Either way, I have a ton of posts in my head that I’d like to get up (even though my read­er­ship has dwin­dled to 2, and one of those is just me proof­read­ing), and a whole redesign planned in my head. Maybe one of these days I’ll have the time for web­sites again.
