First off, a Happy New Year to you all and best wishes for the twelve months ahead. For reasons I won’t bore you with, 2007 kinda sucked for me so I’ll greet the Hatsuhinode (I hope to hell I spelt that right) with something that lies between cheery optimism and “I hope that shit won’t happen again.” As always, I can’t resist playing around with the blog a bit, and I’ll be making up my mind as to what to watch in the coming season too. One fun little detail that I spotted recently was how this blog is, according to Google, the manliest site on the entire Internet. Go me.
In accordance with anime blogging etiquette, a random pic of a cute moe girl has to appear somewhere to break the wall of text. Conveying my ‘coffee and a laptop’ enthusiasm this time is the eternally kawaii Mahoro.

If there’s one thing that derails a two-week daily blogging frenzy, it’s cross-browser CSS bugs. The reason why it’s taken so long for my WP 2.3 upgrade, apart from the lengthy persuasion that stemmed from a dialogue with Owen over the virtues of tags over nested category lists, is that I wanted a theme that’s compatible with this shiny new Wordpress back end. You’ll probably remember that I was a tad reluctant to change in the first place, but after converting the Reviews Archive and discovering the awesomeness of tags and being assured that the upgrade wouldn’t make the sky fall in, I took the plunge.

Some of you may remember that I was having some issues with the new 2.3 version and felt more at ease with the older one. After careful consideration and reading up on database restoring in PHPMyAdmin, I decided to do a reverse-upgrade (downgrade?) back to 2.2. Now, I *think* I was running on 2.2.2 but apparently 2.2.3 had some bug/security fixes so I went for that instead, just to play it safe. The main event today though was that I successfully re-installed my pre-upgrade database - this means that I had to re-post my Paprika review but also lost the two reader comments that went with it. To those who commented on that post, sorry about that. ^_^

It’s going to take some more tweaking and suchlike but I’ve succeeded in moving the blog over to Wordpress. This means that the url and RSS feed have both moved so I apologise for any broken links that you’ve stumbled on while trying to read the stuff I’m blogging.
