"IT'S ALLIIIIIIIVVVEEE!!!!"

And after 8 months of working on it (I'm slow...don't judge me), my server has finally lurched to life, and is accessible from the internets.  I still have some work to do on getting the website ready for the public, and of course, I want to make sure all the security holes are patched, but it's mostly there.
Coincidentally, all the trouble I was having with getting it up and running was due to a pooched installation of WordPress.  It seems that the last 8 hours of work, over 5 days, has been mostly for nothing. 
Things are trucking along, and I even got all my old bloggers posts imported today.  It was simpler than I thought it would be, but my labels imported to categories, instead of tags...so I have a bit of a mess to clean up.  But I haven't lost anything, at least.
I wonder if my old Live Spaces blog can import easily?  That would be great.  It's a shame that all those old gems from 2004-2005 are lost forever, though.  Eh well...the better ones have ended up rewritten in the older posts here anyway.
By the way...working on a top secret Web 2.0 project for the Christian bloggin community.  I'll let you know more when there's more to know.
