Drupal 6.2... still tinkering.
Bleargh... I hate CSS. I really, really hate CSS!
On the other hand, though, I have Drupal 6.2 running now, after a day of slaving over database backups (I had to do a restore at one point, it was painfully slow and nervewracking), manually updating modules, having to redo my URL aliases at least twice, and *re*-learning Views because Views 2.0 has an entirely different layout to it. (I managed to get all my views working again, though, woo.)
I'm still poking at various little niggling details of things. Having such a beautiful monitor is a blessing and a curse... I *love* the way my site looks on my screen, but some of the colors just look horrific on Jon's. Argh. I grew out of sticking to web-safe colors a long time ago, so I guess that's to be expected, but it's annoying looking over his shoulder and thinking to myself "Bleah, that looks SO much uglier than I thought it did!"
Oh, I managed to find a non-database query intensive way to print categories and tags per entry. But I still have to tweak the full views... now they print tags twice. WTF! Ahhhh, going to be a long night still, I can tell.

Test!
I likes me this layout! :D
I should try setting up something like this. Haven't had an actual journal-like dealie in a long time.
Web-safe colors make me cry. Brown on one computer, sickly green on the other... ;_; *kicks her old college work*
I can help you if you want to use Drupal, but it's kind of a headache to set up.
For some of my other journals I prefer Wordpress or Nucleus. Both of which have lots of pretty looking base layouts to mess with!
What'd you use for Wildnotes? I rather like the layout of that too...though I kinna like the idea of being able to have comment filters and the like, like you have here. (Status stuff is fun too :D)
No big rush though...I haven't had much go on lately that really warrants blogging, maybe except occasional game blabbage or possible story thoughts. Been a bit too busy/tired to do much web stuff. ;.;
Oooh, I used Wordpress for it. Wordpress is my favorite for a light blog, rather than all the CMS-type features I have with Drupal.
I like it, but it reminds me a lot of my own LJ so I would like it huh? >_>
This is true! But purple rules. XD
