Comments are open! All Permalinks work!

by Tobias Schwarz

Welcome back to afoe 3.1 - now running on Wordpress. What I considered to be a weekend’s job - moving a blog of the size of afoe from the multiblog capable Movable Type to the single blog CMS Wordpress and hacking it to the extent necessary to keep the impression of a multiblog - turned out to be just a little more complicated and time consuming.

I’ll write about this in a little more detail in a couple of days, so those among you, gentle readers, who might suffer from the same comment spam/Perl induced server problems, can benefit from my experiences to some extent, should you ever attempt to make the switch.

There are a couple of new features, mostly concerning comment subscription possibilities. Unfortunately, apart from the occasional lack of appropriate Wordpress CSS, some things still don’t work, like our aggregator @afoe, which won’t function properly until I’ve renamed a couple of functions in the meneamé and pligg scripts it uses.

But for the moment, I’ll just sit back and wait for your participation - because the most important good news is the following:

Coments are open again - and despite the beautiful categorised permalinks which we are using now, not a single one of your links to any afoe archive page will break…
