There's No Place Like Home

As you can see, I am up and running on my new server with the look and feel, warts and all, of my old blog and all my previous posts restored. I hope you will find that a few things have improved. For example, comments should process much faster. Because of this, I plan to make the comments link a little more prominent. But comments may not work on some older posts. And some links and images may not work correctly. I'll work on these as I find them. I still need to "import" the few posts I did at my Blogger site. I plan to keep it up for at least a little while.

I hope to return to my once or twice a day posts. In addition, to making the comments link more prominent, I have some other improvements in mind. Because I can now rebuild the over 1000 posts in a few seconds rather than the several hours it took with my old server, it will be much easier to make changes.

This has been more of an adventure than I thought it would be. I have learned a lot about system security and other things that kept the bad guys out but also kept me from doing what I knew needed to be done. Once I got all those things more or less figured out and rewrote a couple of Perl scripts to use explicit variable references, the last few steps were quite easy.

Anyway, its good to be home. If you have any problems please let me know.
