No luck

_MG_1577I can’t seem to beat the persistent and unyielding whitetail.  I’ve tried moving the bird feeders to various locations throughout the yard, getting them ever closer to the house; now they’re right outside the back door at the patio.  It obviously has very little effect on the deer.  

The unseen irony in this is that as I was taking the photos I was in the process cooking venison steaks on the indoor electric grill.  This is just the latest salvo in the “war of the sunflower seeds.”

Face Lift

I think I’ve tweaked WordPress to the point where I’m happy (for now).  I added the background image – it’s my backyard.  The theme I had to adjust some to get it just so, but that’s the life of a geek.

I put back the missing images from the older posts that did manage to migrate from BlogML.  I’m not going to worry about any of the older posts, they were rubbish anyway.

Now, about some content…

Painful migration to WordPress

I decided to re-migrate to WordPress.  Or is that un-migrate from the other blog engine?

In any case it was a painful migration.  My old blog engine can only export to BlogML format, but WordPress doesn’t have a BlogML import utility.  Someone created one a while ago but it only supports up to WordPress 2.5.

At present I’m missing a large number of posts from my old blog.  Until I find the time or ambition to import them manually, they’re just gone.  No big loss I suppose.
