Back to blogging
I am blogging after a long time. Almost 4 months since I wrote a proper post.
I came home after work today and was a bit stressed out. I needed to work but before that I had to unwind. I decided to read something. I am reading Atlas Shrugged but I was not in the right frame of mind to enjoy that book so I did not resume reading it. I turned to Slashdot, however my mind refused (gasp!) to take in the green hues, the news for nerds and the stuff that matters. I am usually a very avid follower of my friends’ blogs and I have a blogroll right here in the sidebar so I started clicking one after the other and realized that most of them had not blogged in a while, just like me. Prude also has been bugging me since quite some time to resume blogging and it’s also due to her persistence and insistence that started this chain of thought.
That got me thinking. Of course before I started thinking I shot off emails to my friends asking them why they were not blogging, very typical of me. I am the blogging evangelist in my circle and I had to live up to my unofficial title. OK, so I got thinking. Why the heck was I not blogging? Laziness? Yes. Being busy? Yes. Lack of material? Not at all since life has been full of ups and downs in the recent months (more on that later. Hopefully) and I could have blogged at least 20 times if not more. I guess for me it was just laziness and also wanting to write the “perfect” post.
I have been very lazy and very stupid. Blogging is easy, you just have to take out a sum total of maybe 60 minutes in a week to write 2 posts. And aiming for the perfect blog is idiotic because there is nothing called the perfect post. One just has to write, some posts will be good, some will be terrible. Some will be timepass, some will be memorable.
So dear friends here I am. Back to blogging. And happy about it.

And why doesn’t my name come up in your tag cloud? I don’t feature on your blog at all? Grrr
BTW, the comments page doesn’t render correctly in FF3.

I usually try to be positive in my posts, and I am going to write about you well you know how it is going to be
I am using FF3 and the comments page is rendering fine for me… maybe it’s some extension you are using. What is wrong in your rendering?

Well it had renedering problems with the check box to get email updates. The check box was outside the yellow/beige coloured box below, while the text was inside the box. So wasn’t aligned. Now I don’t see that discrepancy because I dont see the checkbox as I am already subscribed to receive updates.

This script worked for me quite well. I had to do some manual tweaking since the DB schema seems to have changed but took 4-5 hours in all. I also had to do some tweaking manually in the WP database after the migration, though I do not remember exactly what.
