Aargh! Something I didn't expect to happen, and can't really figure out either, but importing all my Movable Type entries from the old site to the new site somehow changed all the filenames. (What was "http://www.spleenville.com/journal/archives/004067.php" is now apparently "http://spleenville.com/journal/archives/001865.php." I had no idea this would happen, but I did a fresh install of MT and imported the entries instead of just gzipping the files and moving them over, because I thought it would be easier. Oy. Sorry, guys.
Update: And any images I had loaded with popups don't work now. The thumbnails work, but the popup scripts don't. I may reload them one by one, or I may not.
Posted by Andrea Harris at July 15, 2003 12:28 PMThe same thing happened to me. No idea how to fix it and I'll be damned if I'm going to try. If anyone's looking for something in my archives, they can just play a little game of scavenger hunt. That includes me.
Posted by: michele at July 15, 2003 at 03:20 PMYeah, I guess all I can say is people will have to use the "search" function.

Posted by: Andrea Harris at July 15, 2003 at 06:33 PMWell, it doesn't seem that there are any easy solutions (yeah, I want "easy") -- but I agree with this person that the internal identifiers should be private -- though it isn't clear to me that that would solve any of this renaming of the individual post problem.
