Black As My Soul: Done Deal

Done Deal

Well... for better or worse, I have moved completely away from TypePad. I'm grateful for the experience I gained working with my templates there, but I have always wanted more control, and I have always selfishly wanted to say "I did it myself!"

While—truly—all I have done here is install software, the installation does work and and I am responsible for it.

I don't know if I will ever customize the Movable Type software—if I will ever necessarily reach that level of sophistication or even need that level of sophistication... I just find the fact that I could do it to be very reassuring.

Now, I just want to work on my design chops. I have some ideas bouncing around in my head for ways to change the site template and I plan to be working on those as time goes on. Meanwhile, I'm sticking with the sort of Halloween theme I have going. :: shrugs :: It does the job for now. The way this site ends up should look much different that it does today.

There is an MT 3.0 Bible coming out at the end of this month which I plan to use to extend my knowledge, and there is a Hacking MT book coming out in January that I can't wait to get my mitts on.

The other thing I want to do is have a few photo galleries. Some shots of me like I had at the TypePad site, and some of my favorite porn.

More as the site develops.

Thanks for moving with me!
