An Explaination
You may or may not have noticed the following things:
#1 – I haven’t updated this page in, like, FOREVER.
#2 – This site looks different. VERY different.
#3 – All of the previous posts that were here are gone!
#4 – WTF?! A Movable Type junkie is using Word Press!?!?!?
The reason for all of the above can be answered with the following story…
A few weeks ago, some of you may have noticed that my site suddenly up and disappeared. When it came back, it basically sat there dormant and unchanged for almost a month.
See, what happened was that my webhost’s servers decided to ‘splode. And in their final death throes, they decided to take as many casualties with them as possible. One of those casualties was my beloved blog. Though the shell of the site was there, Movable Type got fuxx0r3d beyond repair (more accurately, what I was willing to repair) and I was left with two choices. Either I could reinstall a quickie replacement blog, thereby losing the previous index.html forever, or I could leave what was there in suspended animation indefinitely until such time as I could create a work-around to restore everything as it once was. Being that it could take me several months to accomplish that, I opted for option 1. I’m moving forward. I don’t suspect that I will be using Word Press forever, just until I can get things settled and get MT back to working again. The only reason I’m using it now is because Fantastico has it built in for easy install.
It will take some time to recover all the lost posts – I still have the information there, it’s just a matter of getting it into the database – but at least I’ve patched things together enough to get back into posting again. So yes, I know I’ve been talking for ages about a redesign – well, I got one (though, maybe not as voluntary as I would have liked). It will take me a few days yet to get used to this WP interface (I do NOT like it at all) and sort things out on the main page, so please bear with me.
And if I didn’t already say it, ahhhhhhh – it’s good to be back.

well see i want something more of frogs in your site like a frog game or some kind of mortual type
I have no idea what a “mortual type” is, so I can’t really help you there.
Apart from the banner, frogs weren’t a major part of the old site, so I don’t imagine that you will end up getting what you want from the new set-up either.
Basically, the whole point of this page is me and my whining, ranting, raving and blustering. So let me apologize in advance for the disappointment you’ll undoubtedly feel in the way this blog re-develops.
So that’s what happened. I haven’t visited your blog in quite a while (sorry) and I click on your page and OMG…it’s so very, VERY different! Sorry to hear of your server woes. I wish you luck!
