MT 3.2 Upgrade / Redesign

You may have noticed that I did quite a bit of redecorating around here. I thought a bit of spring-cleaning and a redesign would be just the thing to kickstart a renewed effort at regular blogging. I had been down to a post or two every couple weeks, which is pretty pathetic. Now that the summer is winding down, the bar exam is a distant memory, and my wife and I are fully settled into our condo, I've got a bit of time to spare.

What you likely have not noticed is that I finally upgraded the Movable Type software that serves as the backbone of this site. I had been lingering on MT 2.65 for months (years?) while I waited to see if MT 3.0 would be worthwhile. Now that it has gone through several iterations, I thought I would take the plunge.

I am very pleased that I did. There are numerous benefits to the upgrade, many of which I likely have not yet seen. The one that stands out the most is the new "save and rebuild" button at the bottom of all of the templates. Sure, it is a small change. But being able to edit and rebuild with one click, a task I do dozens of times a week, will be one of those simple pleasures that make an upgrade like this worthwhile.
