Woohoo!

I finally managed to get all of my old blog entries moved over here, along with all of the old comments as well. The internal links are not correct, of course, and I'm not gonna go through 500 entries to fix them all. The search function should work for that if someone really wants to find an old post. But now at least I can refer back to my own previous posts and link to them. The old entries will also look a little funny. For some reason, if I don't use the actual paragraph tags (which I never needed before), it changes the spacing of the paragraph immediately following a blockquote. And since I never had to do that before, the paragraph tags are missing on all the old entries. It hardly seems worth it to go through and edit all those posts for cosmetic purposes.
