Well, thankfully, I was able to resolve that width problem with the post listing. And, after a bit more review, I found that I could actually import all my prior BLOGGER entries into the new system, and did so. MT actually does a pretty good job at it, but for some reason it rewrites titles to all the prior entries, all of which had perfectly good titles. As such, all prior 172 or so entries were imported with duplicated titles. Well, not entirely duplicated, as MT made a guess at to what it thought the title was, or took just so many letters from the writing on the blog, because the titles are seldom what I originally entitled the posts. As such, I have had to do editing on all of the previous posts to correct these titling mistakes. In addition to the corrections, I am extensively categorizing prior posts. I am still unsure what I can do with the categorizations, but I will make that discovery when I get there.
My most irritating dilemma at this point is that all of the links on the archive pages do not point to the blog. They point to index.html, where the program assumes the blog exists, but which is not the location of the blog. In fact, if there is anything currently at index.html, it is the BLOGGER composed entries. I had to upload them onto the server into some file, and as I knew index.html existed on the server without an actual purpose, I saved me having to create another file for BLOGGER to write those entries into.
I am hot and tired. My back hurts. I have been sitting in this chair continuously for a number of hours. I am going to have to take a break from blog revsion for a while. I do have a couple of feelers out for at fix to that index.html problem, but if any of you MT users have an answer, I would appreciate you dropping me a line in the comments.
