New web site launched!

After a few (ok… more than a few) hiccups, the new mfischer.com is finally live!  There were far more moving pieces than I’d originally planned, including a few last-minute issues.  In short, I’ve set up WordPress software on a new server, and have consolidated almost all my content there under the www.mfischer.com name (no more separate blog.mfischer.com domain).  That meant migrating my existing blog from Google’s blogger.com, my static pages from home.mfischer.com (the Linux server in our basement), our photo gallery, and a few other odds and ends.  At the same time, I was implementing a few new things for the web site, which you’ll mainly find in the sidebars to the right.  They include live status updates from FaceBook, daily updates from 360voice.com on what our XBox 360 thinks I’ve been spending my time on each day, and personalized video game lists pulled from IGN.com.  Also along the top of this page are high-level menu options for the major parts of the site.

If you’re subscribed to the daily email updates or the RSS feed, you should continue to receive updates from the new site automatically.  Since the feed is smart enough to detect that the blog is running on a new site, it thinks all the posts are new, so you’ll probably see 10 or so blog entries that you’ve already seen before during the day of the switchover (today, Wednesday).  Sorry about that!

Look for a more detailed post on my WordPress configuration once things settle down a bit.
