Chekhov's Mistress
New Site Design
Time to change clothes yet again here at Chekhov’s Mistress. While the design itself doesn’t represent much of a radical departure, one thing does. I’ve moved from TypePad to using Expression Engine on my own hosting account. I use Expression Engine for most of my Web development clients and absolutely love it – it’s not much right out of the box in terms of design, you have to pretty much build it yourself, but this app has so much flexibility you can pretty much do whatever you like.
I’m still not done with a few things, like I haven’t got my links over here yet and some details like that, but I’ll have to chip away at those things as I find the time.
It will be interesting to see how much my traffic dips after this move. My URLs will be completely different than before so all that search engine traffic (which makes for nice numbers but I ultimately don’t care about) will probably disappear.
So let me know if you have any thoughts on the new design or problems with any of its features.

I agree - very pleasing to the eye. Nice work.

Lovely and clean. Except why did Firefox just now block a pop-up? Isn’t that kinda ‘90s? 
Were Wordpress or Serendipity in the running when making your selection?

Hey - there’s no pop-ups here!
I like Wordpress just fine, but I’ve not been able to wrangle it into submission the way I can with this app. I don’t know that other one. I started with MT and TypePad, used some of the others then settled on EE.
