Don't Delete Template Module Files

Twice I’ve made the fatal error of deleting a template module file, and renaming the saved version as the one I deleted. This is obviously not the way to go, because the site won’t display again properly, and there’s no way to refresh the changed template. MT says it is a custom template and skips the task. The only way I could fix this was to create a new blog (or in this case resurrect an old blog) and get the templates built again by the system.

I’ve put in a 301 permanent redirect for any links to the site that are looking for Junee Online, now they’re redirected to Babble On, with a new look too. I rather like this style, and might try giving it a personal tweak in the coming days/weeks (whenever I have some spare time).

I’ve upgraded again to Movable Type version 4.01-beta2 and can’t see any noticeable changes.
