Trying out Flock

I'm writing this post with Flock, the new browser that includes an extremely easy-to-use blog editor.

The software is not yet even beta - it's sort of in-between alpha and beta - so you need to be prepared for some flakiness. Nothing so far gives any indication that this tool is less than polished and complete. But I've been using it for less than 30 minutes ;)

The blog editing functionality is very good. Configuring it to access this blog was very easy. Writing a draft post with the WYSIWIG editor and then publishing it was equally easy. The editor even includes a spell checker. Well, maybe that's planned as clicking the spell button produced no action.

So, impressive. More later as I play with this.

TypePad to MT move done

I've just "switched off' the original Nevon Experimental blog on TypePad. I'll not be writing there any longer; where you are now is the new home - Nevon 2.0 Experimental.

Still quite a bit of work to do here but I decided that I might as well make this move now.

This is the simple move. The big one (to me, at least) will be moving NevOn, my primary blog, to NevOn 2.0, its new home based on WordPress. When that happens, the addresses of the blogs - that one and this one - will be the same mapped addresses that the current blogs use, which are mapped to the underlying TypePad addresses.

I expect to complete all this by 1 January 2006 or sooner.

MT import from TypePad - Success!

Just imported the complete post content from my NevOn Experimental blog on TypePad. Complete success, no errors reported. A quick look through the blog seems to support that - nothing weird-looking as far as I can see.

That's impressive. Although this blog is a small one, so to speak, I was half-expecting some errors. But all smooth.

Ok, so this MT blog is almost ready to assume the NevOn Experimental role in place of the TypePad blog of the same name. About the only thing to do now is re the domain. I need to re-map that domain, but not until I make the final move with the main blog on WordPress.
