Well, after hours and hours of retooling all of the CSS files that make timtyson.us look the way it looks (basically starting over again using the CSS code done by Mena Trott as a base starting point.), after rewriting the template files to accomodate the traditional feel of timtyson.us, and after reworking some of the ancillary pages that link from this main page so they too would work with the new CSS statements, my blog is back in business on the new server, using MovableType 4.x, and looking pretty much the way it did before this transition took place.
If you see a mostly white page with content here and there, just click on one of the themes under Pick a Theme in the sidebar. (You may have to find the Pick a Theme section, but it's here.) This should select a CSS file that will control the look of my blog in your browser. You should only have to do that once.
I haven't tested this at all in Internet Explorer as I just frankly hate that issue riddled browser on Windows.
You will notice the blog design is considerably wider. I added a few little additional touches here and there (like the seagull next to the post titles in the Manhattan Beach theme along with other post ornaments in other themes, the large rotating pictures on every page, et. al.).
You will find links here and there that do not workâmostly on the ancillary pages. I'll get around to cleaning those up later. The content on the ancillary pages will, in time, undergo a significant update. Most of those pages were written about 5 years ago.
So, if you find "issues," let me know. Otherwise, enjoy the new look.
