95% done. You should be able to actually see this now. I still have to format the template a little (since there’s things missing, like DATES!) and play with some CSS, but it’s coming a long nicely. By tonight or tomorrow I should be all set. A big big thanks to Chris for helping my fix just about everything. Thanks!
Tonight is game night, so I’ll be playing a little CS and unwinding a bit. That should be fun. That’s about it. Later
Well, I’ve been tinkering more and more with Moveable Type and thanks to Chris I actually have something to show for it. All that I left to do is convert over my old posts and tinker with some CSS a little. I’m debating doing away with the CSS all together but its still up in the air. I might just simplify it a great deal. At the moment the default CSS page is huge, with about 30-40 different entries. I don’t think I need that many. At the most I’d use about 5, but certainly not 40. I need a defined “content”, “date/time/comment/author”, “title” and then a few for the comments box, that’s about it. I certainly don’t need a defined style for “calendar sub heading.” That’s just excessive. Anyway, I’ll do those two things tomorrow and then I should be ready to rock and role. It’ll look 95% like it does right now with a few random things appearing on the right hand side, but that’s about all you’ll notice for changes. So, the final changes will take up the morning and then converting stuff and moving everything will take up the afternoon and if all goes as planned, I’ll have a new journal up for “game night” tomorrow.
Rock.
still working on this damn CSS file…. have I mentioned how much I hate huge CSS files. not CSS in general, just the HUGE, ungodly complicated ones.

Well, I’m part way into getting Moveable Type installed. The documentation is pretty clear so if I mess something up at least I know it’s probably my own fault. I haven’t read far enough to work out what I’m going to do about my design/template but I’m sure I’ll figure that out in a little bit.
Last night Chip, Andrea, Dave, Ryan and myself went to see ‘Reign of Fire.’ It sucked… a lot. I wasn’t expecting it to be good by any stretch of the imagination so I wasn’t really disappointed. Once I get the new journal up I’ll post a review so I can mention the plot holes that were large enough to drive a truck through.
As for today, I’m going to hang out here for a bit and try and get this working. No word yet from my uncle about a “family event” he was planning so I’m not sure what’s going on there. That’s about it.
