And I really do love it. It hasn't been too scary to learn, probably a bit easier than Movable Type was. I'm still working on things, adding content, and shaping up stuff, but I like what I have so far. I welcome anyone who wishes to drop by, visit, and give any comments.

Looks like your migration has gone well so far.

It would be interesting to see how you imported your existing content from MT as this would be beneficial to others I'm sure.

I didn't keep my existing content so I actually started with a fresh slate. I'll double check this, but I believe my friend that has been teaching me Drupal recently did a site from MT to Drupal and had import existing content. I'll reply here if she did.

I've previously used MT for a personal blog ... until the spam comments got the better of me. I've also been considering allowing my blog to arise like a Phoenix from the flames. (LOL!)

Did you have custom css for your MT site? Mine was completely custom and I've been curious as to how (and how easy) transferring that css from MT to Drupal would be. Any insights?

My MT was completely customized, but used tables and heavy use of graphics. As part of my evolution in web design, I decided to work with a default template of Drupal - bluemarine, and to learn more about css and creating a beautiful site without heavy graphics and tables.

I still have much to learn design-wise on Drupal, but I'm really happy with what I've done so far.

My friend, who has taught me all I know about web design, is in the process of attempting to transfer a custom css for MT to Drupal. This is what she is working with:
