My blog had been running on an ancient web host account for years without incident, when one day, my mongrels collapsed. However, I was extremely busy, and even a little apathetic towards the site. The holiday break gave me a chance to move it the content over to a modern install of Mephisto. If you’re actually visiting the site, you’ll notice I even barreled through a new CSS setup with Blueprint as my wingman. However, I’m still missing some things:

• Comments didn’t make it over for some reason. Ugh, that’ll be fun to hook up.
• Assets are busted. Probably some web server configuration settings that need to be tweaked.
• Archives and Search: Mephisto actually has decent support for this, so why not take advantage?

I guess you could call this a New Year’s resolution, as lame as that sounds. I just feel like my coworkers have been kicking ass at the blogging thing, so I feel like I should put forth some effort.

As a little Mephisto related bonus…

Here’s how to generate the archive listing at the bottom:

<div id="archives">
  {% for m in site.home_section.months %}
    {{ m | strftime: "%Y" | assign_to: 'current_year' }}
    {% if displayed_year != current_year %}
      {% if displayed_year %}
        </div>
      {% endif %}
      <div class="archive-year">
      <h4>{{ current_year }}</h4>
    {% endif %}
    <a href="{{ site.home_section | monthly_url: m }}">{{ m | strftime: "%m" }}
    {{ current_year | assign_to: 'displayed_year' }}
  {% endfor %}
  </div>
</div>
