Site Template Redesign: Baseline #1 Complete
This took longer than expected. I've learned, the hard way, to make incremental changes when modifying an unfamiliar template. Joe Jenetts' simplicity.2.1 template is almost all CSS. Not that hard, but differs enough from the old template to make me slow down and pay attention.
With one eye on my many small changes, and one eye on the Comedy Channel (South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut), I finally finished the new baseline about 3:30 AM. I started the upstream, using the "All Weblog and Category Pages" option in Radio UserLand, and dozed on the couch waiting for the upstream to finish. Yes, the more knowledgeable Radio template freaks already see the problem. Don't all shout at once.
I awoke about 4:30 AM and checked the results. Home page template migrated OK, but not the main template. [D'oh! - Homer Simpson] I should have used the option to republish the entire site. The option I chose did not upstream new template wrappers for the story pages. A complete site push takes about 2 hours over my ISDN line. Tomorrow is another day. It is now almost 5:00 AM and the sky is starting to lighten. Time for bed...
