Some of you no doubt noticed that for the last few hours, you couldn't leave a comment or do anything here. That's because I was trying to upgrade to Movable Type 3.2 and screwing it up royally in the process. Reed Cartwright, the computer genius who does all of the software work for the Panda's Thumb came to my rescue, as he always does. The funny thing is that he emailed me this morning, before I started, saying he was available to help if I wanted to upgrade, and I'd already downloaded the new version to try to upgrade it. So as you can tell, he's used to me screwing up such things and having to rescue me. So thanks, Reed. You saved me again.
