A quick glance at the sidebar will show you that, like my friend Stephen Curry over at Reciprocal Space<\/em><\/a>, I have had a go at importing the not-all-that-extensive Not Ranting… <\/em>archive from the blog’s previous home.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the import functionality is a bit limited – or else the Textile mark-up\/ formatting that Nature Network<\/a><\/em> used to use – and don’t even mention<\/em> MT4 – \u00a0is not well understood by WP, at least when saved in a text based format. Probably one of those “But he said…” “No, but HE said”<\/span> kind of things.<\/p>\n

*sigh*<\/p>\n

I did try out a couple of online Textile-to-HTML converters, but they balked at anything where the tags were embedded, so did not make things very much better.<\/p>\n

The upshot is that the posts with a lot of formatting and links \u00a0in them all look pretty comprehensively borked, to the point of near unreadability.<\/p>\n

Now, Stephen Curry perceptibly likened this moving blog<\/a> to moving house. You get the boxes packed, and then shifted, but then restoring order afterwards takes some considerable time.<\/p>\n

In my own case, the last time I moved house was about ten years ago.<\/p>\n

Just last month, when I was having the windows in the house replaced and hence shifting boxes, I noticed that a few of the ones I was shifting were the same<\/em> ones from ten years ago, as yet un-unpacked.<\/p>\n

Which does not bode altogether well for the restoring of the blog archives…<\/p>\n

However, rest assured that I WILL work my way through the archive here and try and make it readable. I will be starting with the recent stuff and working my way backwards. I will do the posts first, and then the comments threads later.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, you can still find older posts “unscrambled” over at the blog’s old home<\/a> on Nature Network<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
