so far, i have the completed about 40% of the migration to movabletype. the main page is working as expected as is the individual archive page. i still have a ton of stuff to work on: the comment preview page, the comment error page, the archive index pages, and more. then i will need to categorize all of the 400+ posts that i have made over the last 2 years. this will be a work in progress mostly, as it will take me many hours to make sense of everything that i have written over the last couple of months. all told, i think that if i really buckle down, i should be able to get the site moved over tomorrow (integrated archiving!!) and then work on the categories all weekend. by the time i start back to work on monday i want to have this all wrapped up, as i will be cutting a good deal of my day out. love them vacations!!
