Well, the old database died completely, and I was unable to export the data. What happened instead was that I salvaged the data from static files and spent the last two days reposting them by hand into a new Movable Type installation. The end result is that there should be fewer problems in the future, comments now work like they should, some of the data was lost (one or two posts only, I think), and the archives are no longer where they used to be, meaning that any links to individual entries are now broken (sorry, couldn’t help it). I haven’t quite figured out how to add all the existing comments, but I do have the data and when I figure out what to do I’ll put them back up.
Hopefully I’ll be back to posting regularly by tomorrow, and I’m going to take advantage of this restructuring to tinker with some things.
