Well, that took a while. But, I've now have a shiny new MT upgrade installed on my hosting company's server. It allows for much easier manipulation of the side columns. I can switch different widgets in an out with extreme ease. It was just the initial creation of the widgets that took a bit.
On a more sober note, I lost 2 months worth of posts. Not like my lost achieves that are sitting in a flash drive waiting for repair. These two months are simply gone. Puff! It seems my old installation just didn't have quite the oomph to download every single post. Or, the program I used didn't have enough oomph. Either way, I've lost August's, September's, and the first few days of October of this year.
There really was only one post I regret losing; My popcorn recipe.
Now, I've removed the CAPTCHA widget because I understand it's a pain for some. But, that also means I've resumed requiring registration. There are multiply ways you can register. You can just register with my native Movable Type system. That requires approval from me. Or, there are several other services, OpenID, Vox, TypeKey, and LiveJournal, all of which don't require my approval, but do give me the ability to ban.
Now, I understand some of you already registered once. Unfortunately, I wiped my database clean to eliminate some bugs that were held over from my 3.XX version of Movable Type, so you'll have to register once again. Yes, Brian, I am sorry.
Now, I have a few more images to upload, then my work should be complete.

You just can't leave well enough alone.
