It was high time for an overhaul so without further ado, here's the new Jephnol. I'm hosting with Hosting Matters and using Movable Type blogging software. The design end of things will follow, but for now I'm going with the "minimalist" style offered with the Movable Type StyleCatcher while I set up shop.
I pointed my domain name to the new nameservers—not a problem.
The Movable Type installation went smoothly, except for my having negelcted to associate the user with the MySQL database. The blog software wouldn't initialize (create tables in the db and set up the user interface) until I rectified the problem. I opened a ticket with Hosting Matters, and Mitchell quickly assessed the situation. Thanks Mitchell!
The whole transition was a snap. So here we go now....
