Fourth birthday
November 18th, 2009
Stills is four in just a few weeks.
Even with the recent kerfuffle, it has been enormous fun. I hope contributors both old and new feel the same. I hope for more fun in the future.
In the near term, though, I’m going to create a bit of a problem by letting my hosting contract expire in the new year. Stills was never meant to be the sub-directory of auspiciousdragon.net that it now is (if you recall, Blogger locked up and I moved it in exasperation one day). It will be an unfortunate side effect of me winding up most of my net presence that Stills will become homeless.
There are options, such as moving to wordpress.com. Each option has advantages and disadvantages that I’d need to spend a little time to explore. We might end up with something a bit less flexible, for example, than the current set up.
My purpose in writing this before doing the research is to find out whether any contributor who has hosted server space might consider taking the site over. I’d happily go on administering (or jointly administering) it. Please contact me privately if you think you might be able to provide Stills with a new home.
(Yes, I continue to call it Stills. No, the lawyer hasn’t yet gone away. Yes, it is all very tedious. Nothing of real concern)
