donald made me do it
Well it finally happened. After all the protesting I did, Donald found a way to get me to install MT. Well actually he did it. I thank him so much for this. Even imported all of my old entries and comments and set up my templates so my existing style sheets from my new design would work seamlessly. I gotta' tell you, this dude is a wiz.
Sure there's more work to be done. Styling the comments and trackback - and going through each entry and checking the images and links. I also need to get up in here and clean up all the other site files. And I think some comments are missing and some text still has to be converted to the new style, but I do have to say, I'm proud to be a member of the MT family.
I've also got to give a major shout out to my girl, who goes by the web name of cocotaso, for hooking me up with this major design job.
george should be happy I made the switch, and j. should be happy with my comments now. I think I'm back full swing - well sorta'.

Now we are all connected. Me and Karsh's covert plan to assimilate everyone is working! Glad you were able to combine the new coco design with your older archives and implement them all into MT. This is great. I'll be back for more

dear anonymous poster, it would have been nice if you left your name so i could have put this out to you directly. are you on pc or mac? when you say mozilla - do you actually mean mozilla, or do you mean firebird, or camino, or do you even mean some mozilla-based browser like safari? full details would help a sista know, but the OS is really important. and if there's no scroller, how were you able to post your comment?
and - for all you folks who stopped by - thanks for the kind words and welcome back messages. see you round the web soon.

a-HA! I see you have been assimilated. Damn this layout looks mad nice. Everything works fine for me in mozilla firebird.

Quite happy, yes. You look good, Lynne. Donald does excellent work, too.

i like this... i saw this over at cocotaso but never got around to telling you how much i liked it. it looks good.

hey lynne... that was me talkin about the scroller (forgot to put my name)... ;)
i put the cursor down on the background and highlighted the text to scroll. i am using the "mozilla" brand browser with Windows ME.
other than scroller... everything looks great!

yo eric, thanks. but 'um, i know i'm not ging to be able to satisfy e'rbody. most folks are probably on Windows using IE - and it's fine for them. Of course that's not what I'm using, but that's an entirely different story.
Now that I have this up I know I have no excuse not to blog more frequently. I konw there are some folks out there waiting.

yeah... no worries! i can always grab the page and scroll "manuallY" :)
