Tech Hassles cont.
I pinpointed the code that wasn't executing in Movable Type and have forwarded same on to Ben. I know the issue is a data one, but hopefully this will provide enough information so that Ben can give me some direction as to how to incorporate categories back into this weblog. I also finally sent $20.00 to Ben and Mena for my use of MT - I wish I could do more, but I'm tapped.
(I'd give them an autographed copy of Essential Blogging in exchange for using MT, but since they co-authored it I'm assuming they'd rather have the bucks. Especially since they are also looking to move to a new server.)
BTW - I still love my Movable Type! Particularly since I could hack directly and easily into the nice, clean, highly readable Perl code.
Effort continues on the server resource issue.

Since at least some of your bandwidth is going to Needley, I would think you could appeal for financial support without feeling bad about it.
You wouldn't get a whole lot, to be sure -- bloggers who try this generally don't, nothing to do with you -- but every little is something.
I'd try to kick in my share, as much of your 'width as I consume. :)
Thanks, Dorothea! I'm hoping I can swing on my own, at least to start. If ThreadNeedle takes off and consumes massive amounts of bandwidth, then I might pass 'round the hat. Or seek new home for it.
