Upgraded (And Horked)
Hrm. Well, since I woke up and shook the dust off good ol’ Ten Reasons Why, I decided I needed to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of Movable Type — specifically, version 3.2. All went well with the upgrade (nice new icons on the admin interface, Six Apart buds), but somewhere along the way I got the bright idea that it would be smart to “refresh” the templates, since the documentation indicates that the new refresh feature would back up the old templates and replace them with the default templates.
Eh. Not so much.
I presume that probably is true if you are your modified templates use the default template names, but since I’d mucked about with my template naming conventions, I’ve managed to hork the site design. Oh well. It was long past overdue a redesign, especially since I never totally completed the previous redesign (c. January 2004) — the comments and trackback pages were never right and the archives were kinda hinky. So I guess I get to stretch the HTML & CSS muscles as well.
I do wish I’d remembered to take a screenshot of things before I commenced with the horking.
Note: hork isn’t really a word, but fun to use anyway.
