I finally got the guts to delve into the depths of my webserver and set up WordPress.
It was surprisingly painless even for an Eloi like myself, once the heavy-lifting of setting up the database had been done for me (thanks James and Stef)
Managed to import the entries from my (non)secret blogger blog I’d been running as a scratchpad during my downtime, and now to try shoehorning in 5 years of Typepad-formatted nonsense.
I’ll stick with the default theme for now, as it’s going to take a while for me to get my head around the thing, but happy to be back!

Welcome to WordPress. I’ve been using it since I started blogging at the beginning of this year and it’s been a good experience.
People are writing some great plug-ins including Ben O’Neill’s Technorati tagging widget which comes with a Flickr-style tag blob showing how you’ve tagged your posts with the most used tags in the largest font.
Enjoy 🙂
Welcome back! I always enjoyed reading your posts, and it’s good to see they haven’t stopped for good.
Hey Matt
Welcome back.
