As many of you know by now, I’ve been in the process of converting and re-building this blog for the past week.  The original blog was a “canned” application offered by my web hosting site.  It was limited in options, wasn’t powered by the current version of WordPress, and I found out that I couldn’t even back up the site!

Well this last revelation caught me by surprise.  So the solution was to build an entirely new blog by establishing my own database and using the full and current version of WordPress.  It was a lot of work.  The only thing I could pull off the old site were the posts and comments themselves.  Everything else, including the user database, had to be built from scratch.  But what you see here is the result.  I hope y’all are pleased with what you see.

Thanks to those who helped me debug and test things out.  And I apologize for the inconvenience caused to the registered users (by having to re-establish their profile).

Now, let’s get back to railroading!
