Big news: After mucking about in WordPress PluginLand and playing with code a bit, I think I’ve got it right–OpenID users (including LiveJournal bloggers) can now use that identity here.

Fair warning, some of the implementing technology is still in its infancy, so hiccups may occur. Let me know and I’ll hit it with a rock if possible.

It just took a very complete backup, a behind-the-scenes reinstall from the nice support folks at MySiteSpace, and a restore of backed-up files by me.  Let the insanity re-commence!

Note to self: never do a manual update again.  Just not worth it.

Note to others: yes, I’m aware that there are, once again, scattered characters in some of the posts.  I do care but I don’t have time to deal with all that.  I’ll do the front page, then the rest as I get to ‘em.  If anyone I’d trust with admin rights wants to help, comment here.

Check the Wall of Shame; I gave out some new awards.

Last night, I set my cousin up on a WordPress blog, since she mentioned she liked the way I had mine set up. Livejournal makes exporting journal entries a pain–single-month files, it won’t take a range. I knew I was glad I didn’t use them. Anyway, she’s up and running now and even picked a theme. And I’ve fixed the theme in a few little places, that being pretty normal. Take a look!

Without cheating, now…name that molecule!

Yes, I’m a week and a half late. Cram it.

If you set up an account (bottom of right column) I can take you off of moderated commenting…you know you want to be able to spam faster…

I haven’t fallen off the earth! Or at least I’m not planning on it. But I may be away from the internet all day tomorrow, in case anyone’s paying attention.
