OK...It Seemed to Work...

Shock of shocks, my blog/website update seems to have
worked. Without too much disruption (besides a
three-month absence) the site is now back in
business.
There are still a couple of unresolved issues:
One issue is that the comments are all screwed up. For reasons beyond my understanding, the comments are not posting to the correct blog entry. In most cases, they seem to be about two entries behind where they should be. This is the one single issue I worked hardest to resolve these past few months, to absolutely no avail. I would have had this site back up two months ago if I could've resolved this issue quickly. But I've given up.
So the truth may be this: any comments for entries prior to this one may be hopelessly screwed up, and there may be no way to ever fix them. Sorry for that.
Also, the picture pages are still messed up. The pic pages are dependent upon iPhoto, and I have yet to repopulate my iPhoto library. The pics are all there, in a folder on the new backup hard drive, but they are totally unsorted and unnamed...and sorting them's gonna take a lot more time. So, please be patient while we work to recreate this section of the website.
Finally, I noticed recently that the blog does not render correctly for people using the Windoze version of Internet Explorer. The margins are all screwed up, and I can't figure out why. If anybody knows the answer to this mystery, please let me know. The pages render just fine using Safari or Firefox...or using any program on a Mac. (Surprised?)
I wouldn't worry about this, but for the sheer number of potential readers out there using IE. So, I am sensitive to this issue and working to resolve it. But if you are inspired, it might be good time to switch to Firefox.
More later...
