    I had upgraded my blog from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 and most things were working there. I had planned to just deal with some diminished functionality for now but after a couple weeks decided I couldn't. The biggest issues for me was the lack of a functioning blogapi and the twitter module. I use them both on my site. I use blogapi so that I can compose blog posts from my Mac using an external editor. I also like to add things to my blog using iblogger on my iphone. I could not get either working with Drupal 7 yet. I also use the twitter module to post things from my blog to twitter and that feeds into facebook. As I am training for the 3-Day I use both of those tools quite a bit so I guess I won't look at upgrading to Drupal 7 again until after my walk in August. I really wish I could have kept the blog on Drupal 7 because I really like the new interface and usability features.

    Well I finally spent some time getting my website updated.  When I updated my blog from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 I lost some functionality and now most of it is back.  I wanted to get things back to where I wanted them so that I was ready to post training blogs as I begin my training for the Twin Cities 3 Day in August.  I like to post entries when train so that my donors know that I am working to get ready for the walk.  In addition to adding a content type that lets me track my miles of walking, I can actually track my walk maps this year as well.  I am adding a little each time I have time to work on the website.
