The main reason I want to make the move now is because I've been wanting to take advantage of some of the new features that come with the newest MovableType. Some of those include the ability to categorize my blog entries within multiple categories instead of just one, and the ability to create a more logical tree of categories and sub-categories. Also, I'd like to be able to tag my blog entries with keywords. This will be especially useful for tagging things like the Home with House podcasts and my other mixes with keywords like "jazzy house" or "funky house". In the end this will make my site more organized, easier to search for users, and hopefully it will also help increase the flow of traffic that comes here via Google and other search engines. That's the goal anyways.
I hope to make the changes in a development area so the live website doesn't go down or become affected during the process. But it's still possible that I might screw something up during the migration, so hang in there. The changes should be done sometime this weekend and when they are, you won't notice too much difference on the surface. Again, most of the changes will be behind-the-scenes and for my benefit, but there will probably be a few more searchable categories and options in the archives section when everything is done.

Is it done ?!?!
Not quite. I spend a good few hours over the weekend making the upgrade. After fiddling with my templates and modules for a while, everything except the comments work now.
Last night I spent another few hours debugging the comment problem, and have started basically re-doing my comment setup from scratch. I hope to get that done and tested more tonight, and put it all live in the next couple days. BTW, I have been making good use of the walk-thru on your blog for the same migration you did a few months ago.
