Territorial Bloggings

Some various junk & stuff…

• Archive pruning - the pruning of the Territorial Archive is done. I winnowed things down from about 950 posts to 515, and from about 600 comments down to 275. The comments were deleted as a function of the posts that I deleted. The posts were more purposeful, as I got rid of some that just didn’t make sense anymore, some that pointed to blogs that are no longer available, and others that I just didn’t think warranted keeping around for “historical” reasons. Plus, it helped make my database quite a bit smaller & more manageable…
• Tagging - all of the remaining posts are now fully tagged. It might not provide all that much actual value, but it makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something. And it can give a potentially interesting view of just what I’ve been writing about over the past three years.
• Blogging software - despite how much I seem to want to stop using WordPress, I just can’t seem to ever make it happen. I was even to the point where I was willing to write-off all of my old posts & not worry about trying to get them imported into a/the new blogging system. There’s a part of me that’s just tired of WordPress, and wants to try something new. That part, however, is quickly overwhelmed by the part of me that just likes to keep things simple, understandable, and useful. WordPress, for all it’s faults, is an amazing combination of easy & robust. Plus, I know it & how it works, and there’s something to be said for the comfort that comes from the inertia of the installed base. I’ve even gone ahead and installed the latest version of WordPress - 2.3. I can’t say that I won’t feel the wanderlust again anytime soon, ’cause I know that I will. I’ll check out what’s going on out there with all the other blogging/cms apps. And someday there might even be one that gets me to switch.

I was going to write more, but I think that I’ll stop there. For now.
