Well, I just completed the upgrade to dasBlog 1.7.  (dasBlog is the software that runs my blog) I've been pretty excited about it because it will address several woes I've been having, not the least of those being referral spam.  Omar, Scott, and a host of others deserve a big pat on the back for their contributions.  Thanks, guys. Check out Scott's announcement for more links and details on new features if you're interested...you're probably not.

The upgrade was complex since it attempts to do alot of fixing and cleaning of old data, but everything went fairly smoothly once I figured out I had accidently wiped out my custom theme in the move.  One nice side-effect is that my really old entries from when I was running BlogX are editable again.  Some hadn't even been viewable.  I immediately took the opportunity to clean up my categories which had gotten way out of hand.  I still have too many, but it's actually manageable now.  I'm looking forward to playing with the new features and seeing the performance improvements.  I'll probably be doing alot of upgrading of other blogs I manage tomorrow after I've had a chance to work any and all kinks out of the system.
