Ancient Blog Software

August 26, 2014 -

I've come to the conclusion that the code that runs this site is so old that it needs a total overhaul. I mean, let's face it - it's been over a decade and the basic structure hasn't changed. At some point, my host will force a PHP upgrade and my whole site will crash because the code just won't work anymore.

At present, I just don't have the time to redo everything. I've put a stopgap fix on the commenting, and I'm hoping that people will no longer have to deal with long comments being eaten by my blog, but until such time as I rewrite everything, there is no guarantee.

I know that I could just switch to Wordpress, but I'm too stubborn. I like having a blog I built with my own hands and notepad. Perfect it ain't. But it's mine.
