Some of you may have noticed yesterday that my blog disappeared for a few hours. I have been running some major errors and they weren't corrected no matter what I did. So ... I decided to reinstall my blog which fixed all but two of the errors.
One of those errors is coming from allowing OpenID on my blog. When I initially set the blog to accept OpenID comments, it worked fine. Then it didn't. I don't know why either. All of a sudden they ran a 403 Error. So, I disabled it. But ... the good news is that CAPTCHA works now so you don't have to login to comment anyways. :)
Then there was the URL issue. When I had inititally installed MT4 ... I did not know that it would automatically change my site URLs. Instead of a file name being something like ... billy_graham_politics it became billy-graham-politics. That made lots of older posts very unhappy. So I changed it and now my newer posts are very unhappy.
I still haven't been able to revert back to the .php extension I used to use for my site files. That makes the majority of my archives non-existent. They are there, they just have the standard .html extension now.
I am also working to put in redirects for any pages that are consistently being viewed (or at least people are attempting to view them). I am also doing that with posts from the last few months so that no one ends up with any dead links. Oh joy.
I also need to go through every last post and the internal trackbacks to ensure that the proper links are in place. I have no clue how long that will take. Double joy.
