I'm still here!
Actually, trying to decide whether to update the blog server software or not. (Yeah, I'm overtaxing my current set up, for sure!) I'm considering either upgrading to the new version of Movable Type, switching to Word Press or something more exotic using Drupal or what not. I want to learn PHP and the latter two options employ it so those are really the choices.
The current version of Movable Type doesn't allow emailing entries to it and it's awkward to upload photos or to format the output easily.
More exciting details to follow.
