Update on site hosting
November 23rd, 2009
It looks like we have a solution for the future hosting of Stills. Keep posting here in the short term while I set everything up. I *ought* to be able to import everything in v2 into v3, so I will declare a 24 hour moratorium on posting and commenting at some point to make sure that stuff doesn’t fall between stools during the transfer.
There will be a couple of administrative changes, and I’ll be unable to customise the look of the site to the extent that I’ve been used to, but as it looks like wordpress.com is the way to go then the basic working of the site will be identical to what we have now. I’ll deal with administrative changes as we go along, but one that you should be aware of right now is that I will no longer be able to email all comments to all users automatically. Users who currently read comments via RSS will be able to go on doing that. User who don’t will have to change to RSS, I’m afraid. Contact me privately for assistance if necessary.
I’ll announce any moratorium as a new post here. You’ll know the new version is live when you get an email about signing up to it (sign up required to keep the commenting restricted to members).
Thanks to both Rex and Matt for helping me think this through.
Keep posting and commenting :-)
