So, you’ve got your morning coffee and you head over to the ol’ MarlinBlog to see what pearls of wisdom Stan’s gonna drop on you this morning. As the page loads, you see all the familiar landmarks, but … something’s not quite right.

I’ve been threatening to update the blogging software we use here at the MB for quite some time now, and I’m happy to say we finally did it.  No more worrying that the unsupported old software would go out of business – we’re on the good stuff now.  Following the example set elsewhere in the site, we’re only using the best from now on, and that means WordPress.  The software itself is pretty good, and as you can see we were able to beat on the design long enough to make it look pretty much the same as before.  All of the old postings are here as well, only now, we’re fully database-driven – no more 5,000 file backups for me!

I’m not going to pretend that I’ve worked out all the bugs yet, so expect some funny business over the next few days.  Pictures, in particular, are problematic, but I’ll find a way around that before the Weekend Eye Candy comes due on Friday!

Anyway, on we go.  You can expect the same old snark, and I expect the same old comments – maybe even more!  As always, if you have comments or questions, just let me know!
