Beyond plumbing
I was still ill, so I decided to move to a new weblog system: TypePad. The transfer of the posts was painless. The comments are, alas, all lost.
Getting my domain to point to this blog will take only a few days (I hope). But then everything should be properly in one domain, instead of still showing that I'm using some crummy free webspace my provider offered me.
Once that's done I can start tweaking with the layout again.
Update: The domain points to the new blog. It went a lot faster than I expected.
TypePad is da bomb.
