			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My <a title="Caesar Is Dead" href="http://ardvaark.net/caesar-is-dead">last post</a> here was October, 2008.  I&#8217;m sure nobody missed my rantings and ravings here, but I missed the ranting and raving.  There were dozens of times over the last several months when I <em>wanted</em> to post, but the pain of editing with <a title="MOXx" href="http://modxcms.com/">MODx</a> was just too great.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that MODx is bad.  It&#8217;s actually quite fancy, with lots of features and flexibility — too many features and too much flexibility.  It works best for a site with somebody who has lots of time to Make It Go.  I didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>And so The Dumping Ground languished.  The layout was ugly.  The posts were infrequent.  And many times <a title="My Twitter Account" href="http://twitter.com/Ardvaark">Twitter</a> would fill the gaps, staunching the need for expression one hundred forty characters at a time.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I had been shephearding the new <a title="Logan Circle Community Association" href="http://www.logancircle.org">Logan Circle Community Association</a> website through development.  The company developing it built it on top of WordPress.  I was surprised at how far it had come, how much easier it was to use than I recalled.  I decided to finally make the move.</p>
<p>I spent a good portion of my recent trip back to Indiana poking at <a title="PHPMyAdmin" href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net">PHPMyAdmin</a>, downloading plugins, and futzing with CSS.  And this afternoon, Greg informed me he had cut me over.  And here it is.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be around here more, but I also Tweet a lot more, too.  I don&#8217;t Facebook, although the pressure to is nearly irresistable.  I did my best to keep the old links alive, redirecting to new URIs; if you find a broken one, please let me know.</p>
