Burningbird: Kick own Butt -- the Elephant marches on

Kick own Butt -- the Elephant marches on

Well, I was feeling sorry for myself earlier until my friends told me to lay off and 'quitcherbellyachin' -- sort of.

In particular, Loren reminded me that rather than being out hiking in the woods, or at the St. Louis zoo as I was today, I could be as he is -- poor soul, chained to his desk and computer, slowly converting his weblog from Adobe GoLive to Movable Type by copying and pasting each individual entry. Select-Copy-Paste. Select-Copy-Paste. Select-Copy-Paste.

Loren, though you're not the first to make the move to Movable Type, you're ahead of the pack in quality of material posted ... and in the sheer volume of work necessary for you to make the conversion. So, this photo's for you.

I told you that you were having a better time than I was.

I think I'd like the St Louis zoo since elephants are my favorite zoo animal.

The more I cut and paste the more I wonder just how "valuable" that old stuff is. The real advantage of moving is that it gives you a chance to throw out the trash isn't it?

Loren, I'm glad then that I posted the elephant shot for you.

As for archives, I've just eliminated links to my old weblogs, and the dated links. From my web logs, I can see that people only look at the category listings, or they get to the older pages from Google using some interesting search pattern -- there really isn't a 'past life' for weblog pages. IMHO.
