Internet Explorer users may notice that the footer is slightly squint. This is due to Internet Explorer not supporting CSS properly (yes, even though its nearly a decade since it was made a web standard) and the reluctance of the Wordpress team to fix this bug (well, when you see the amount of bugs they didn’t fix before the release of 2.0 it is really no surprise!).
I have every intention of restoring the Creative Commons license (both the message that you see and the machine-readable metadata) but at the moment the website is suffering from a significant level of screwiness so it’ll have to wait. It now seems to be back up, but if you want to see what was wrong, I took a screenshot.
I realised that dropping Wordpress over Akismet was something of an over-reaction, and since I had kept my Wordpress Database on my server switching back was a simple matter of re-uploading the files and importing the Textpattern posts I made over the past few days. Templates etc. will be done over the next few days.
Apologies to anyone who subscribed using the old feed URLs – I just checked my logs today and noticed that a few people were still trying to access /?feed=rss2 . Needless to say I’ve written the appropriate RedirectPermanent code to ensure that your feed reader will automatically fetch the new url.
Apparently the server ‘upgrade’ that was supposed to be done yesterday morning has been ‘rescheduled’ for 1am this morning. In other words, they screwed it up the first time. Expect a great deal of downtime and slowness. Grr.
