DEATHMATCH: Kevin vs. sqlite+typo-2.6.0

Sorry for the downtime and weirdness yesterday and today. I’ve been attempting to update to the latest version of typo while at the same time migrating from SQLite to MySQL for the backend. Things got more complex than I was able to deal with while at work. But we’re back now.

You’ll also notice a shiny new theme to the site. It’s the Origami theme from the TypoGarden Theme Contest. By default it uses a Flash-based technique to render headlines, but this can be shut off in the top little control bar (just above the site title). You can also switch it to a fluid layout (highly recommended), change the font size, or switch the sidebar to the other side. I’m a little ambivalent about using such an intense theme, so it may change soon. UPDATE: I’ve switched back to the old theme, since the Ta-da Lists were being displayed weirdly.

Next on the to do list (as you can now see in the sidebar thanks to the wonders of Ta-da List) is to make the RSS feeds display with the proper URL (currently they’re using 127.0.0.1, which is why you can’t click on a link in your feed reader and get to the story). UPDATE: This seems to have been fixed somewhere in the transition between 2.5.6 and 2.6.0. Thanks Tobias!
