And We’re In Business!
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.

- 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!

![Drag and Drop MooTools File Uploads]()
Honesty hour confession: file uploading within the web browser sucks. It just does. Like the ugly SELECT element, the file input is almost unstylable and looks different on different platforms. Add to those criticism the fact that we're all used to drag and drop operations...
