Yay. I’ve got Wordpress running now and I’ll try to work more on getting things running tomorrow. But for now it’s 1:36 in the a.m., which means work time is over.
UPDATE: I’ve got theme up, links, all posts from the old blog… Oh, and RSS is live. I’m getting closer! I tried to make sure […]
There will be some changes to this blog in the very near future. I’ve decided to switch over to Wordpress. The process will take a few days at the least, so I wanted to warn everyone that this blog can be reached at http://tatro.typepad.com until the changeover is complete. However, if you try to go […]
