You may notice yet another theme change on this blog, this time it’s accompanied by some new blog software as well.

I’ve been finding SubText a little cumbersome, and the development seems to have come to a complete halt, meanwhile Telligent have put out some betas of their new CMS, Graffiti. I downloaded beta 2 for a test drive and was really impressed. Skinning and customisation are so much easier than with SubText, within a short time of playing around I had my blog content imported and looking the way I wanted it (well, I’m using a tweaked but included theme, this may change.. but from a site structure standpoint it’s perfect). So I figured why the hell not just put it up there. My only real challenge was all my old URLs in Google. Thankfully (and I’m going to get a bit nerdy for a moment) they had the forethought to put a bunch of startup code directly in Global.asax so I was able to build my own redirection routine in there, then it was just a matter of pulling out all my old URLs from the BlogML and matching them with new ones.

If you are reading this in an RSS reader, it means I succeded there too!

I actually do want to blog more this year, I have some cool stuff going on I will be able to talk about soon.
