I've got a new home page up now, though there is really no reason to go there. It just has a link to this blog, and several pages under construction. It looks a lot better than the old clunker I had there until about an hour ago.
I'm also very pleased with Movable Type. I feel a lot more comfortable having all the code under my domain. Its features provide a lot more control over the structure of the blog, and I think the blog just plain looks better (though a lot of that is just getting rid of the old orange/red/blue combination - I was getting tired of that). I'll get a new stylesheet up eventually, right now I'm just getting into blogging again, and importing most of my blogger posts over, usually in one-month chunks. For actual content, not counting appearance issues, I think I've got just about everything I want on the blog now, mostly the same as the previous site, with a lot of fluff removed. I've seen some new links I like, and I often ask myself why I don't have a link to some others I read regularly, they'll be there soon.
Evaluating what I've done with this blog, I've got to admit that during Lent, my Pilgrims' Progress blogging got to be kindof tedious, and I think I lost some focus during that time, especially with the illness, and passing away, of my mother, and the war against Saddam which dominated the news. Concerning the war, it was a bad time to quit active blogging on current events.
I'm about ready to resume the blogging on the Pilgrims' Progress, but I'm not going to make it a daily entry like I did (unsuccessfully) during Lent. Now that I can categorize my entries, they can be filtered and viewed consecutively by anyone who wishes, if I only had the appropriate links on the page (back to the templates!)
