I had to remove the little applet from Irrepressible.info because it was causing the site to be unviewable in IE browsers. (Speculation as to the possible collusion of Microsoft with repressive foreign governments is expected to follow shortly…)
So I finally managed to get the database migrated over from the old host – as you can see, the old articles are here now. I was able to migrate all the user comments as well.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to migrate the actual user accounts, because the table format changed too much from that version of WordPress to the version being used here. So you’ll need to recreate your account info if you had an account here before.
I am still working on migrating the themes, static pages, photos, etc.
