Just a quick post to note that I’ve been playing a bit with the site, and I’ve customized it slightly to add in the missing links to the right, and some other minor changes.
More should be coming from me in the future…

I May Have Finally Given Up
Any of you who have been to the site over the last month or two likely have noticed that there’s been a lot of times when the server has been down. Part of that is the server itself dying randomly, and part of it is the site itself having a memory leak somewhere. Not to mention all of the spam comments.
For at least the next day or so, the normal site is down. I’m switching over to WordPress for the basic posting stuff, so hopefully the comments should have an easier time there. I’ll get the reviews and articles back up as soon as I can, but at this point that may take some doing. We’ll see.
Either way, here’s to the start of something new.

"You smell very clean."
When Ender directed me to the site today, after days of it being down, I was immediately struck by how different it looked. I definitely like the new aesthetic, having never been huge on the green (edit: I’m an idiot; see the comments, then play me off, Keyboard Cat), and hopefully, our shiny new site will be easier to spambot-proof after the disaster that befell us before. And hopefully, it will also encourage more commenting, since everyone gets how WordPress and Blogger work, on a fundamental level. (Certainly, if it doesn’t, there’s only one place left to lay the blame.)
No clue what we’re going to do with the old posts, though, especially if simply migrating them over proves difficult or impossible. I may just repost the handful of articles and posts that I’m particularly proud of and/or may need to reference in the future. This site is very much under construction, so stay tuned.
