I’m delighted–and HUGELY relieved (yes, I just used all caps!)–to report that my reinstallation of NexGen is performing beautifully. I had to revert to an older version, 1.6.2, which was the last version in use before the 1.7 upgrade hit the streets and made my life a whole lot harder. Not that I’m blaming it for what appear to have been files that got corrupted when I switched Web hosts; just that version 1.7 has innate issues that I see no reason to deal with any longer. In this case, older really is better.
Anyway, I’ve begun recreating galleries and taking the opportunity to do some reorganizing in the process. All posts dating back to November 29, 2010, now have either their nice, colorful singlepic images back in place or else have color thumbnails; and the music posts have thumbnails dating back considerably farther.
There’s still plenty of work to do, but at last I’m on the right track and feel a whole lot better about things. My blog may have crashed, but it hasn’t burned, and I think the next phase of grunt work will go relatively quickly now that I’m no longer stuck on a treadmill with my image gallery.
Man, I love it when solutions actually solve something!
