Here's my brain-drain image for today. Cute? I think the grey-matter is going through a mincer, the image is a little small to make it out properly.
The need to know what you are doing is so important when tinkering with the template files. Yesterday, after changing all the templates, none of my individual entries would work. I had to go back to the MT default templates. I think the problem had to do with dynamic page generation, this time around I have all the pages cached statically.
I'm still not done with playing, though I'll take extra care this time. I might start by installing TypeMover. It allows backup, restoration, and migration, which would have been handy yesterday. I exported my blog to a text file on my computer, and when I tried to restore I found it should have exported to a folder on the host machine, which it didn't. After much cutting and pasting this morning I got it all back up, but what a terrible waste of time, when with a decent program I could have done it so easily. I won't get caught out again.
