Blog "offline" for a few days

The blog will be "offline" for a few days. It'll still be there, but I'm turning comments off, not adding any new entries etc. This is to get a static point as I move to a proper host, then it'll be up 24x7.

I have no idea when it'll be back - this will be once I've transferred the templates, rebuilt it, added the customised stylesheet entries, and removed the full paths to images in favour of relative paths (don't ask me why I did this in the first place...)

All files moved across, site rebuilt. Leaving offline until checked out

Few issues with copying date archive template the wrong way (ie default over existing tailored version rather than other way around). Category & sub-category hierarchy sorted. Think I'm there, almost! TypeKey authentication token added for temporary URL and domain URL for when trasnferred.

Only sendmail doesn't seem to be working, apart from that all moved over. Well, that was less hassle than I thought it would be.

Sendmail not playing ball. May need to call in some help (nnnnnooooooooooooooooo............). Oh, and relative image paths didn't work, will try once I have a proper URL once I change nameservers.

Sendmail sorted, is dropping the emails into my unconfigured mailbox on the localhost when sent to my domain (as yet not transferred), so temporarily routing to a gmail address. No help needed (pheww....)

Nameservers moved, all done. Slight issue with Typekey authentication as the return path is still the temporary URL, need to change in MT config file. Then it's all done.

All done.

Slight panic, got garbage when logged on at home. Then discovered PlusNet's DNS servers haven't been updated. ALMOST there...
