I am looking at the upgraded version of the software that runs this site, and being the sort of person who does not always react favorably to change (particularly when it is not readily apparent what advantage it has), I find myself hunting for the features I already use, which have been moved, and trying to identify those features which are apparently new. It tells me that I am in Visual mode, but it’s not letting me switch to HTML mode, which is the mode in which I usually type these, so it’s probably going to be pretty messy, and I’m going to wind up spending some time trying to get it cleaned up. I will, however, adapt. I had to log in afresh, but my password organizer recognized the login screen and took care of the information for me.

I am not at all certain what the difference is between a post and a page, but I’ve decided that what I want to write is a post. It took a bit of effort to find the categories so I could mark this as a blog, but they’re in the Tags section once you expand it. It looks like tagging articles has become a tad more difficult, but I haven’t gotten that far yet so I could be mistaken–if I’m seeing correctly, I’ll have to add tags individually, instead of in strings as in the past.

That’s all right. Today has run reasonably smoothly. There was not that much e-mail, since I checked it all yesterday; I did get to my mother-in-law with postage stamps, but not as early as I’d planned since my wife is ill today and needed some extra help. I got a bit of Romans editing done while on one errand. There is not that much left to do, so I might even get to bed early tonight.
