Temporary Relocation
So, yes, I'm having continuing problems with my new Movable Type installation. As I noted on the site, it keeps throwing up 500 Internal Server Errors for no particularly good reason -- it seems like MT4's rich text entry editor is insanely finicky and if you try to do anything other than what it wants to do, it will punish you severely. Since I can't seem to get to to not do that, I'm going to uninstall MT4 (after exporting what I have) and all other previous MT installs and then try again, although this time I'll probably do some fairly extensive test blogging away from the Whatever site first. While I'm doing that, I'll be writing my regular load of entries here.
I don't know how long that will be -- could be a day, could be a week, who knows. But I left a trail here (or am about to), so hopefully people will click through.
As for MT4, I'm annoyed with it but I'm willing to believe that at least some of the problems are because of me, not the software, which is why I want to try a totally clean install and see what happens then. I know at least one Six Apart principal is watching me thrash about and has offered help, which is awfully nice of him; I may take him up on it yet, but I want to see if I can figure it out first. I like what I've seen of MT4's functionality; I just want it to function for me for more than six hours in a row without breaking. We'll see what happens.
