Site Renovations

Well, I have just finished renovating my personal blog. The previous blog's design was more than three years old, so it was time for a change. In addition, the blog software I was using was becoming really dated, and I was having spam problems and such. So, I've spent the last few days upgrading the software, and there's a lot of new features that will become available.

Besides the new look-and-feel of the site, we also have web polls available now on the left hand side (scroll down a little bit). In addition, you can now participate more by rating the blog articles that I put out. More importantly, I've got more spam defences built in now, so it should be less of a pain.

Anyway, comments, feedback, and suggestions are welcome. This should conclude the downtime that we were experiencing, and I will resume regular blog postings again.

P.S. Sorry Brenton, I lost your last comment during the database upgrade, but to answer your question, I moved my host to dreamhost.com.

Cool!! You'll have to let me know how it goes with Dreamhost, they were the other contender as for who I would go with ... I went with HostGator instead.

The only one thing that I miss is access to CPanel which HostGator has. They also don't have Awstats, so I have to install it myself. But, having SSH shell access is pretty sweet. Also, if you host with them, they'll register/renew your domain for free for as long as you're with them. So, that's a $15-$30/year savings right there already.

Ah yes. SSH is very tempting. It was a tough decision, so we'll have to keep each other in the loop for how the service goes.
