It looks like my reasons for starting with a fresh install were justified. When I imported last night, I got all of the posts thru 2007 but nothing beyond that. Obviously, that wasn’t gonna work so I deleted them from the new installation. I’m still tinkering with ways to import so they may come back into this installation.
There was a point during one upgrade around that time something funky happened. I think my DB got corrupted somehow. Every upgrade on my old blog since has had problems. The irony is all my old categories came thru onto this one. [1]Remember, my last upgrade lost a ton of categories WordPress as a blogging platform has matured signficantly since then so I’m happy with the newest version.
Never fear the old blog is still active under blog.mobius.name (or the long url of www.mobius.name/blog/) and will remain so. I’ll probably come up with a way to pull the archive into this blog. After reading the support forum files there were some serious issues w/the export/import option for larger blogs like mine. I knew that going into it so no surprise there.
Anyway, it is a new year and a new blog. This template is only temporary until I settle on one I really like. Things will be missing or odd for a couple weeks till I get settled probably.
I also plan to manage the user list more closely in this one. The last group got so weildy as to be a mess. There will still be content restricted to registered users but that will be a few weeks. lol
Wish me luck?

Not that I think you need it, but good luck.
Also, I like the basic look of the page – clean, easily readable, neat, welcoming. Just some personalizations, and I think you have a winner. Then again I do tend towards a more minimalist approach to things, so take it for what it's worth.
I love the new colors even if it is a temp theme. I've updated my link so I don't miss a Moby minute!
