Updating and upgrading

In the coming weeks you'll notice changes here at Daily Gusto. You know the neighbor who doesn't mow his lawn, who lets the weeds and grass grow until small animals begin to settle in and build habitats for striking out at any passersby? Yeah, me neither. But I'm trying to get at a metaphor for the simple fact that I've let the site go.

Over the coming weeks I'll be cleaning the place up and rebuilding DG and Jennifer's Teapot Dome blog, too. It will mean lots of installation headaches and template changing and the kinds of things that made me not update for four years.

I'm using the Movable Type blog software from January 2004. As many updates have come and gone, there are a lot of things I can't just do because my updates now require updates, etc.
