Thus revealed, the creature buried its nose in the tire-tilled soil...

Damn! There's work to be done.

Okay, so the conversion has been made, but not painlessly -- apparently I neglected to apply the v1.51 hotfix to the import tool, which means that while the old Blogger posts do show up here, they're not listed as having an author! Which means that I'll have to individually republish every fucking last one of the posts in order to fix that. I've also added some new categories, so I can add old posts to those while I'm at it. But, natch, publishing every post is going to take forever and I'll probably just not care to do all of it. We'll see. Ugh.

Also, there's apparently a lot of code in the old posts that isn't XHTML valid -- natch, since I wasn't really shooting for that, with most of my HTML being in the realm of 4.0 -- and while I'd like for most of the newer posts on this blog to be compliant (something about that damned validation link that came in the sidebar has made me want to appease it -- if they'd had a donut validator there I probably would've shipped them a box of Krispy Kremes), there's no bloody way in hell I'm editing all of the other posts to fix that. The fact that post titles are links to individual post pages in this new blog and that I actually included links in old post titles, since they weren't hotlinks, is also causing a few problems -- so I'll probably do something about some of those instances as well.

Well, it's raining outside, so it's not like I was going to be skipping around or anything. Ja!
