This is going to sound hella corny but I am having a blast working on my new layout. I mentioned before that I am trying to set everything up without using tables and the way it's turning out so far has me grinning from ear to ear. I figured out how to configure my server so I can use server side includes without having to use .shtml extensions on the files.

Mostly what I did tonight is work on the sidebar items. It's looking so cool! I wish I could share more but I don't want to give it away. You'll have to wait and see. I am learning to organize my content with CSS though and that is a very cool thing. I'm impressed with myself. As I realize what new element I want, I add it in and voila! Everything looks the way I want it to look.

Tomorrow I am going to be working on the main blog portion (template tags, etc.). Once that is done I'll be ready to install my new version of MT and get rolling.

I found out tonight that the reason I can't import all my old entries is because I don't still have greymatter installed to be able to export from and i deleted my blogger powered blog from Blogger's website when I moved over to Greymatter. Waaa. So I actually will have to enter all the old blog entries by hand. Sheesh.

Tonight has been full, as was today. I was given stock options for my company today at work as a reward for my performance. Woo hoo right? I also learned that if you let someone borrow a dollar one day, they will most likely come back to you repeatedly always asking for change or a dollar. By the time the month is over, they are into you for about $20 or $30 bucks. I normally wouldn't make a big deal, but when it's the same people over and over again, I start to get annoyed.

That's all I think.

EDIT: So I should add that whenever I am having an html/php/css/any kind of web related problem I can always go to Anil and he always has the answer. Last night I was having problems with the comments on the blogs that are included on the new index page. As soon as I showed him the html, he had the answer. That just freaking rocks to me.
