I’ve not posted here for a bit longer than usual. I am not sure why as I’ve got a few posts running round my head at the moment. I did have some time this week but that was eaten up by sorting out a few backend things on this blog. Last weekend I updated the blog to PivotX – 2.0.0: beta 12j and I must have made a mistake or two. In the new version of pivot some thing have changed (Upgrading from previous beta releases<\/a>). By the middle of the week I had noticed a few funny things going on, individual posts were giving 404 errors. I tried uploading the files again but due to the careless way I had originally installed pivot I had to be careful not to over write my templates. I them made things even worse. To cut a long story short I uploaded a clean version of pivot, and move my data across then deleted the old directory. Hence the change of theme. <\/p>\n

I suspect that the root of the problem stems from the way I move the blog to here from the Sandaig Primary site.<\/p>\n

I could probably footer around and put the old theme back in place but as I had never really finished that one I was not too sad to see it go. At the moment I am using the bare bones<\/em> theme which is designed to be customised.<\/p>\n

\"Flatfiles\"<\/p>\n

One of the main reasons I use Pivot (which is now officially pivotX<\/a>) is the fact you can easily customise the theme of you know a little html. The original reason I picked it was it was the only blog I could find that used flat files rather than a database. PivotX now gives you the choice to use MySQL if you want. At the moment I am sticking with flat files.<\/p>\n

I also quite like the barebones theme, I’ve always like fixed width or maximum width webpages but flexible is beginning to grow on me.<\/p>\n

I guess I’ll tweek away at the template and css, but I now have a much cleaner starting point to start from.<\/p>\n

Another thing that seems to be fixed by the clean install is the MetaWeblog API which I had managed to break in the move here so I am now back to blogging with TextMate<\/a> which I am delighted about (or will be if this post works when I hit ?-?-p<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

All I need now is a bit of time to tweek and some more to actually blog, for today this will depend on the weather.<\/p>\n
