I have made some changes to the back-end of my site, mainly to get away from the hacked-together system I’m using with Blogger.com. Don’t get me wrong – Blogger.com is a very nice blogging system. But I prefer to house my own content, and Blogger.com keeps the raw data in their databases and only pushes out the formatted pages. I had an odd system in place that parsed the Blogger.com pages and pushed them into my database, which was then formatted on-demand to you users out there when you wanted to view my posts.

Not anymore. Now these posts are generated from a version of WordPress installed on my server. I’m still experimenting with it, so if you see any weirdness let me know. My eventual goal is to move some of the other content (the Gallery, for instance) over to this system, too, but that’s a future improvement.

With this update, you can now post comments to any of my posts without using any kind of login. All you have to provide is a nickname, email, and optional website address.
