I’ve been fooling around fixing things that broke when I updated to the new version of WordPress a couple of weeks ago. Most importantly, the links and comment pages are working again, and the site has a new “look.” This one’s a little cleaner, and will have an appropriate graphic header “soon.” If it looks appropriate when you read this, then “soon” has happened.

I’m actually starting to get excited about the prospect of moving. Yeah, it’s being a real pain in the ass right now, going through stuff and getting the house ready to sell. But, as I weed through things and clear out all the accumulated stuff that I’ve been dragging around and not using, I’m starting to feel some weight lifting. Sure, right now it doesn’t look like much has happened in the house. But, there are at least a dozen big Hefty garbage bags lined up beside the house ready for Monday morning trash pickup. And, a full van-load has already gone to the dump (it was almost all biodegradable).

John, our agent and long-time friend of mine is great, helping us with a million stupid questions and putting us in touch with contractors to get the work done that we need to get the house salable. I don’t think we’ll make the December 1st target for listing the house, but we’ll see. Maybe we’ll go ahead and listed even before some of the work is done. We have our next meeting with John on Sunday, and we’ll discuss that possibility. We’ve seen pictures of lots of places on the MLS that are being made ready after the house is on the market.

We’ve also learned, I think, what we want in a house and where we’d like it to be. That will help John greatly in helping it find our new home over the next few months. We’ve certainly started to learn what we don’t want.

Anyway, off now to lunch!

We have a target date for getting the house on the market — December 1. And so, we’re heavily into the “getting the house ready to sell” business. Tonight, I tore out the layout and benchwork. There’s a huge amount of work to do, and our agent wants us concentrating on two things: finding our new home and reducing clutter. He’s much less concerned about the “fix-up” aspect of things than we are, and has his fix-it man coming over tomorrow to discuss things. It’s time for a pretty wild ride, I think.

Read this post about On30 Guy Pickup Wipers.

Those of you who visit the site with your iPhone (or iPod Touch or other select mobile device) will notice that the On30 Guy looks like many of your other apps. And, the site will load faster, because you won’t have to wait for pictures and all of the body text to load (especially important for 2G users!). You’ll still be able to see any posting you want by tapping its title. All of the pages are accessed from the drop-down at the top of the page. Cool.
