If you didn’t notice, the website has undergone a few changes today. Yesterday I was inspired to move the Smidgin off of WordPress.com and host it myself. WordPress gets top marks for how easy it is to migrate a website running on the software. You can literally export from one website and import into another and, voila, it is ready to go. (With a bit of tweaking to file storage, virtual hosts, mod_rewrite, and the like, of course.)
One of the nice things about hosting the site myself is that I can make minor changes and updates to the theme and various other pages. Another one is that I can now more directly include The Smidgin: Development instead of having the site split across two servers. And, finally, I now have direct control over my Google Analytics, which is an awful fun piece of software to play with.
If you see any bugs, let me know. I tried to make everything transfer as easily as possible, but more than likely I messed up somewhere.
Enjoy the new site!
