Business Issues

A couple of tiny website adjustment thingies. I upgraded to Movable Type v 2.6.2 today, and as always, there were a few moments where it felt like I had hosed my entire website, but it ended up being easily fixed moments later. Movable Type’s gotta smooth that stuff out a little better, or else they’re going to give me a heart attack.

With the MT upgrade, I finally decided to look at the built-in search features and figured out how it worked. It’s actually really easy to implement, but because of the way I have the website setup with all the PHP and includes and what not, there were a few little things I had to tweak and figure out it actually linked to the proper pages. Turns out I got it up and running in about 15 minutes, so that was pretty cool. So now there’s a search feature, it’s on the sidebar.

Also, I did a quick redesign of the http://www.grumblemutterspit.org frontpage. In case you didn’t know, grumblemutterspit.org actually hosts a few different websites. I share it with my friend Linus, and I also run a Sleater-Kinney Concert Review Archive on it. The old page looked like this, and it was basically just a placeholder bit that Linus dropped on there the day after we got the space available.

I didn’t spend a terrible amount of time revamping it but I did like the way it turned out. I think I made Linus look like a White dude, he thinks I look like a White dude too, and a serial killer no less. He also thinks Carrie Brownstein’s head is way too big in comparison to ours.
