If you are the technical sort, you'll probably notice that this site is littered with AJAX code/effects now. Ask me and I'll tell you all about it.

If you're not the technical sort, well then... Welcome and enjoy!

Off-track...

Somewhere...a disconnect. Sadly, I am finally to the end of my search for a future-proof Trackback paradigm. I have talked to a couple of people about this and it just seems like there is no easy way to accomplish it.

As a slight fix, though, I have created a new MovableType database that is solely dedicated to this Weblog (I sponsor a couple of others that were previously all using the same database). What this will do for me is provide a “clean” database in which each new entry will be created as consecutive Unique IDs — databases that contain multiple Weblogs enter each entry by each Weblog consecutively, meaning that “Weblog 1” might create entries with UIDs “1” & “2,” while “Weblog 2” will create it’s next entry as UID “3” and then “Weblog 1” will create UID “4” and so on (effectively creating non-consecutive UIDs for the singular Weblogs).

Anyway, this information is all way too technical and, well…technically moot. This is where my sadness comes from — the fact that by creating a new database — no, no, no, I mean by moving my original database to a new host in the first place — I have completely destroyed any Trackbacks and/or hyperlinks that you all may have sent my way or made on your site. I am sorry. I know this is annoying (especially to me, because I have used Trackbacking as a way to tie most of my correlating Blog entries together). Of course, one day I may go into each of my entries and try to fix the broken links, but that would be a lot of work!

So, I apologize if your site now contains a broken link because of me.

This should never happen again.
