I spent some more time today tweaking the general layout. There is now, featured stage right, a handsome navigational bar of enviable quality and design. Granted, there’s nothing else to which you can navigate anyway, but rest assured that once there is, it will be with a by-then-familiar interface.

There still remains much more tweaking to be done, and on top of that I’d really like to figure out how to import my older content into WordPress, even if it’s just displayed under a separate, non-bloggy “Old Archive” page. I tried reading a few guides to importing old MovableType content, but they all assume that the user still has working access to their MovableType installation. This, as you may recall, is not the case with my situation, since my web host decided to upgrade some hardware/software/widgets which completely b0rked my MT installation. So I connected to the friendly #wordpress IRC support channel on Freenode, where it was confirmed by some kind folk that without access to my MT installation, I am out of luck. This leaves me with the option of somehow manually importing all of the HTML files MT had generated, which is surely possible, but potentially laborious.
