Starting up the blog

Well, I've had enough of trying to convert my midgard site back to plain php, so for the time being - I'm going to try and test Serendipity.

Well, after a bit of messing around I finally worked out that changing the apache config, and making sure the embeded option was off.. and it works..

Overall, I guess Serendipity is a reasonable application, and given that is is currently realively small, the fact that the code mixes HTML and PHP rather badly could be forgiven. So I guess I now have to work out how to integrate it with the old site

So far having imported the old data, I already came across a fedw annoyances.

• Preview blanks out changes with the htmlarea editor!
• nl2br makes copy/paste from html impossible
• the strange markup language again caused problesm..
• I had to hack the code (eg. fork) so now it's a little unmaintainable.. :(

Oh well...
