Well moving the mailing list site over to the new server foobarred. Obviously because I don't know what I'm doing. I started out by putting in the wrong dns names , and didn't catch that until the next day.
Still don't know where those came from.
I've asked the old server guy for some help. If he provides, then I'll keep this site here, and my classroom site here.
If not, I'll be moving. I have several options going right now, if the phpfreaks site doesn't work out.
This site isn't going away.
And Movable Type is still foobarred, but I've learned a lot from it. FYI: I've based a classroom website on Movable Type ideas.
