I just finished putting the finishing touches on what I consider to be an acceptable version of the new Mullenweg Home Page. I bought the domain a while ago (because you know it would have gotten snatched up otherwise) but haven’t done much with it except put my senior pictures in a subdomain.

You can also do some cool things on the Site Prefs page using some fancy javascript and alternate stylesheets. Try it out!

Editor’s note, Sept 2012: This was the first blog entry I made on a Movable Type-powered blog that used to live on matt.mullenweg.com. From what I can tell from the archives, I switched to B2 (a predecessor to WordPress) about four months later.
