It's been a month and all I have is a news archive and a stylesheet. But, I feel like I'm actually making good progress. The archive uses mod_rewrite, which is something I've never used before — and afterall, that's the whole point of this site. I also installed Gallery the other night and have been trying to get it configured exactly how I want it. I have decided that getting the gallery fully set up is going to be my next project. From what I've played around with so far, it seems like it's going to be a pretty big project.
After the gallery is set up and I have all my images moved over, I'm going to set up an archive of all my old posts. Tomorrow, I'm going to bring in the hard drive from my old database server so Doug can help me get all the data out of the database(s). At this point, I don't even remember what's stored on there. I know there are the old news posts, polls from SWAMP, and the posts for Thoughts, but I have no idea what else might be on there. I think I'm going to put the old posts in their own section, rather than lumping them in with the new posts, but I'm not sure yet. One thing I do know is that I can't wait to see what the original recipe for a Tropical Hurricane was.
