Major renovation continues

The major renovation continues…

The Good:

WordPress 2.2.1 is installed
I’ve got a new cruft-free database running, as all the old postings imported nicely
The plugin purge is largely done and was relatively pain-free
Mint (my main stat tracking tool) has been successfully reinstalled, and this time pointed to its own database so that I don’t keep losing archival stats data
I’ve been largely successful in keeping things plain/simple enough on the back-end, such that I don’t have to do much tweaking of the themes that I’m testing out
Some nifty AJAX-y stuff (comment previews & ability to edit comments up to 15 minutes after you submit them) is in place & working nicely for y’all who want to stop by & leave comments

The Bad:

I still need to weed through & prune down my archival postings
I will need to re-tag every posting that I end up keeping
I need to settle on a final template design, although I do kind of like the Mac/Aqua-ish one that is in place at the moment that I write this (Wed, 6/27 @ 7:55pm CDT)
Most likely a bunch of other little stuff that I’m just not thinking of right at this moment

Any & all comments, recommendations, or other stuff like that are welcomed.
