And We’re In Business!

By David Walsh on October 27, 2007

The blog has been successfully moved to the new domain and theme. Took longer than I wanted, but doesn't everything?

A few of the roadblocks I ran into include:

MooTools & Syntax Highlighter didn't cooperate as I hoped. The issue was with Syntax Highlighter, but I've iron out this issue.
Problems upgrading WordPress from 2.2 to 2.3. I've stayed with 2.2 for now.
WordPress' list-driven navigation. A lot of WordPress revolves around lists, which in most cases is good, but why use UL/OL/LI if you can simply use "display:block;" CSS?

In any event, the new blog is up and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the design and how I can improve the website!

I tend to get caught up on the JavaScript side of the HTML5 revolution, and can you blame me? HTML5 gives us awesome "big" stuff like WebSockets, Web Workers, History, Storage and little helpers like the Element classList collection. There are, however, smaller features in...
