Almost Done

Well, this Blog is ALMOST looking the way I want. I’ll tell you, it hasn’t been easy. I am NOT a web master and my knowledge of html is nearly zip. So I’ve been using Microsoft’s FrontPage 2003 to help. I do something FrontPage and then look at the html FrontPage generates. I have also stumbled across this web site gem. It’s been a big help with the html. Although I like what Movable Type does for my Blog, they could do with a little more documentation. They leave all the html up to you. So it’s been a lot of trial-and-error – emphasis on the error part.

Now I just have to figure out how to put the header I use on the rest of my web site in this and I’ll be about done with my tweaking.

What do you think?

The really tedious part will be porting all my Blog-to-date to Movable Type. That’s a cut and paste job with clean up afterwards. I’ve got about five months of Blogging to bring across. They say something about importing, but I don’t know if they mean from FrontPage.

But that’s for anther day.

Ted,
Is it possible to just pull the blog/index.htm page into FrontPage and do your editing from there?

I'm thinking you might be able to put the following code (from your main page) directly after the tag.





















That might work. I'm waiting for Moveable Type to install the software on my server now.
