I finally have all my work arounds in place to upgrade from WordPress 1.2 to 2.0.5, and plan to take down HA for an hour or so later tonight to make the transition. I hope.
HA will maintain it’s general look and feel, but with a couple significant changes. Things will move around the sidebars a bit, giving the blogads a more prominent placement, and the whole layout will widen to fill the screen. I’m doing away with the popup comment window (at least for the moment,) instead opting for a better laid out permalink/comment page with a much requested comment preview function.
And oh yeah… the new version enables me to use the latest comment spam blocking plugins, so hopefully all that garbage will be a thing of the past.
Anyway, just thought I’d give you all a heads up. Talk amongst yourselves.
UPDATE:
Comments are temporarily CLOSED while I replicate and upgrade the database. Please be patient.
UPDATE, UPDATE:
I’ve turned comments back on for posts from the last couple of days.
