So about 80% of the content form the old web page is now in Wordpress. You know what that means — I’m done! We all know the last 20% is going to take forever, so I’m not going to worry about it.
I’m annoyed that some of the nicely styled pages from the old site just don’t seem to look good any more. In fact, I had to add a few style attributes here and there just to make them not ugly. I view this as a defeat, since I had everything in the CSS before. Owell. I’ll just have to learn more about the CMS.
I’d love to be able to import existing, valid xhtml in some way other than “cut ‘n paste”. Also, the built-in HTML editor is pretty impressive — given that it runs in my web browser — but it mangles the formatting of what I think of as source code.

I sent my congressman Representative Corrine Brown a request for support from the Fair Tax website. Her reply (which was sent twice, 13 minutes apart) did not contain the word “tax” , and the only occurance of the word “fair” was in reference to the 2000 and 2004 elections.
Her response, clearly a form message, is only surprising in that it doesn’t contain the word “tax” at all — I’m surprised that any congressman is able to avoid that three letter word in a 606 word email.
I am also amused that it’s 2006 and a point of focus for my elected U.S. representative is the 2000 Presidential Election. Shouldn’t we, in the year 2006, look forward? How about focusing on something that I care about? Oh, wait! Maybe the thing I asked about, the Fair Tax!
It disgusts me that I might have to become a single-issue voter.

I’m home sick today. This sucks not only because I’m sick, but because it’s my birthday.
So I figured, “Might as well do something with the website.” I emerged Wordpress, and I’m off to the races. Now I’ve just got to figure out how to import the content that previously existed on the website and make “permalinks” for those pages that match their old location. Whee!
