House 8 Upgrade Redesign

It's approximately 9,000 degrees outside, so it seemed as good a day as any to finally drag House 8 into the modern blogging age with an upgrade to MT 3.2. Just in time for MT 3.3 to come out!

Anyway, you probably won't notice a difference, brave posters, but changes are afoot...

Update: What can I say? I started something, and then decided to (almost) finish. Still some kinks to work out and functionality to add, but my main goal was "no longer brown." More info after the jump.

There have been a number of ideas floating around for some time for ol' House 8, and this weekend just turned out to be the right time to tackle one of them: FUCKING REDESIGN. Whether you like it, hate it, are completely puzzled by it, or it made you spit coffee, I hope at least it's a change of pace.

The previous design (which Chris totally rocked) had a lot of bigger ideas wrapped up in it, and was really one of the first big projects I dove into in order to teach myself PHP. A lot of those bigger ideas never came to light, but it had a great run.

Some admin changes that come with 3.2. It's now a lot easier to add entries to multiple categories (you don't have to save the entry first), and we'll be bringing back the Title URL field, thanks to an MT plugin. I'm sure some of you just wet yourself with anticipation.

We've got a couple of other ideas to switch this up a bit in the near future, so stay tuned.
