Didn't see any answer to how to "undo" my blacklisting of your address, but I'll press on.

Hmmm... Maybe I've just discovered a new blog title. I only say it's ironic because that effort could have gone into a brilliant idea or post or something like that. Although, since it was insomnia you probably did better upgrading MT... It's an honour to be blacklisted by you. I hope I can return the favour some day. :) Four things going for WordPress - 1) Free (yeah, yeah, I could have ignored that whole commercial thing), 2) my new host (<a href="hostingmatters.com">Hosting Matters</a>) had an easy to use script that would automatically install it, 3) built in support to import from blogger, and 4) it looked easy to use compared to another free option <a href="http://b2evolution.org">b2evolution</a>. After making the decision, I was happy to see it's a well regarded and supported platform. The only thing I remember from English 11 is that my true identity is “Mr. Brevity”.

Didn't we learn anything in English 11? Well, this <i>was</i> a backend change, rather than a style makeover (call the Fab Five), so that the site appears the same is a <i>good</i> thing. Incidentally, I need to figure out how to work Blacklist better. I accidentally de-spammed the trackback you sent, which probably means I've blacklisted jay-photo.com in its database. Major oops. I'm checking to see if I can undo this. Very sorry. BTW, what made you finally go with WordPress over MT? I've heard good things about it, but already time-invested heavily in MT, so resisting change. Is that tragedy or irony? Didn’t we learn anything in English 11?
