Inching closer
I'm still fiddling around with the code for this blog, but I'm getting close to calling it good and bringing in my old content. Thanks for your patience.
*Update: I've rigged up a parallel set of urls for each blog post. Why? For all the people who linked to my old blog posts in social bookmarking sites. Now, when I load up the old content, those old social bookmarks won't 404. For instance, if you click on the data ghettos post below, you'll see no one has bookmarked that in Del.icio.us. Not so. Change /jan/ in the url to /01/ and hit enter. You'll see the del.icio.us badge change to show that 19 people in fact bookmarked that post.
* Update 2: Well... most old blog posts will resolve to their old URL. Someone, I won't name names, apparently liked really long headlines, and those are choking the slug field that makes the urls. I could probably fix this, but I want to get feeds working and old content into the database first.
