Happy New Year!
I fully intended to post Happy Holidays and Happy New Year messages, but somehow the time has just flown by. As many of you know, I am in the process of transferring every blog on the site from Blogger to Movable Type. It has taken more time than I thought it would and I have nearly bashed my computer to bits with a sledgehammer many times, but there is now light at the end of the tunnel. There are only, oh, 70 more diaries to transfer! Now that I have figured out how everything should work on the backend, that number doesn't seem so daunting. Those who are already using the new system seem to like it so I know I have done the right thing. Blogger is great and I felt a certain loyalty to it because it was the first blogging system I used about five years ago when I had my first blog called "Ouch!" (I started that blog after breaking four ribs and finding myself bedridden for a month). But for Health Diaries, Blogger just isn't the right choice. Movable Type is great for sites with multiple blogs.
Thanks to everyone for bearing with me in this grueling process. Also thanks to all the new people who have signed up over the last month and who had to wait for their diaries because of the transition in progress! We have some great new writers on topics like lupus, schizophrenia, depression, and more.
As for my own health news, I'm going to start acupuncture tomorrow in an attempt to reduce the pain in my ankle. I fractured my talus two years ago (has it really been two years?) and it still kills me when I exercise. My first acupuncture experience. It should be interesting. Hmm ... maybe I should start a health diary about it.
