My blog has received a long overdue face-lift.
I was getting a little tired of the previous black background design and wanted something cleaner. I also upgraded to dasBlog 1.9, which proved to be more than just a walk in the park. Things are still a little broken around here, but I will get it resolved sooner or later. I hope you don’t mind a few broken links and things while I settle this new design in.
During all of this I was really pondering switching to Subtext. It seems like a equivalent stature blogging enging on the ASP.NET 2.0 platform, however it supports databases. Das Blog is all about the file system, which makes it easy for people to host if they don’t have access to a database. But since I have over 2 years of content up here, not only does it take a long time to transfer over ftp, but when I upgrade I cannot simply copy files over. I have to be very careful and selective and I usually end up messing up something. (This is why I always back it up before I start).
I know that database support is on the roadmap for Das Blog, but I don’t know how long it will be. We shall see.
Until then, enjoy the new design
