New b2evolution installation

I got b2evolution 0.9.0.10 installed tonight. It looks pretty good to me. I'll probably need to make a couple of little tweaks over the next couple of days but I think I'm basically where I was before. Two little glitches: one was totally my fault and very dumb -- FTPing everything in ASCII mode, which of course broke all the images.

The other glitch was in the upgrade program. I ran the installer, which broke on a SQL command. I went to the forums and found a solution. The only problem was that the script was in the middle of a bunch of database operations, so when I re-ran the script it broke again, since it was expecting to create tables that were already there from the first unsuccessful run. So, I deleted everything, restored my original version, ran the modified (as per the forum) script and everything worked fine. A bit of template fixing and it's all good. Estimated time: 2 hours.

The new stock template (from the up-to-date b2evo) looks good. Very much an improvement over the older stock b2evo template you used.

I'm sure your blog migration went better than mine. All I can say is thank goodness for phpMyAdmin and the fact that mysql client can take input from stdin. After completing the move, I must say that I'm really impressed with how well Wordpress is working out.

Definitely. The little touches like the shaded borders make all the difference. I might increase a couple of the font sizes -- the calendar text is almost unreadable for me by default on my browser, but I'll probably mostly leave it alone.

Oh, and filling in this form, I notice that the email field is mandatory. I'll probably fix that too.
