Remember this?

Seven years ago, it was the header at the top of this site. Between it and the one used now, I think I tried out one other graphic. HappyScrappy doesn’t change often, which is testament to my active, lifelong disinterest in change for the sake of change. I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch every day during middle school. When I lived with some friends in a dorm suite in college, I got irritated when a few of them decided to move the couches in the living room around for fun. “But it was fine the way it was before,” I said, harrumphing. So that’s what you’re dealing with here.

But for reasons too technical for me to follow – although, yes, it had something to do with the inability to leave comments on this blog for the past week or two – HappyScrappy had to be switched from Movable Type to WordPress. Thanks kindly to my host, Ian of Ubikorp, who made it as painless as possible for me. He did his best to approximate the design of the previous site, and I’m willing to live with the slight differences. Truth be told, I think this version looks a little more professional anyway.

Let me know if you run into any bugs. I’ll be tweaking here and there over the next few days, but for the most part, what you see here is what you get. And the best part: Finally, you’re able to leave comments again. I’m very pleased about this. Post away. I’ve missed all the insults. (Although, also for reasons too technical for me to follow, comments will be permanently closed on any posts predating this month. But the archives will be preserved in its original layout, for what that’s worth.)

Thanks, and here’s to the years of completely stagnant blog layout to come. I can’t wait.
