Hi all. It's Peter.
My apologies to everyone who has been having trouble with the blog recently. In my zeal to get things moved over to the latest version of our web publishing software, I rushed ahead with the change before taking the time to adequately test more of the real-world configurations that many of you have in place. So while things looked good on my end, the relatively small sample size meant that I didn't see many of the problems that others have encountered.
Anyhoo, it's taken me longer that I was hoping to get everything migrated again, but I think that we're pretty happy with where we've landed now. At least I am, and I hope that things work well for you as well. Several of the people who had reported problems before have checked out this new version, and all seems to be well, so I hope that we can put all that javascript ugliness behind us.
In the course of getting everything back up, there have been a couple of changes to the structure of the site. We have some more flexibility in the way that things are set up now, and have been able to add a few new things in, and refine some things that I was never happy with before. The archives, for example, are now split out into more useful chunks, which should make for much more enjoyable trips through previous entries.
You'll notice, though, that while the shell of the archives is there, the content itself is a bit sparse. I'm still in the process of updating all the back entries to fit with the new scheme, so bear with me just a bit longer, and everything should be in place.
As it stands right now, all of the Rogue KAL blog is back up, as is the last month's worth of the main blog's entries. The text of all of the 2005 entries, as well as June and July of 2007 are in, although we're still missing graphics.
For those of you for whom this is important, the RSS feeds should be all set now. There are separate feeds for the main blog, as well the Rogue KAL. Links are also at the top of each of the blog pages.
As you go through the site, please let us know if you continue to experience problems, or you have any questions or suggestions. You can just let Chesley or Becka know at the shop, or you're welcome to e-mail me directly. We also have a new contact form on the main page, so feel free to use that to send us feedback, if you'd prefer.
Incidentally, you can use that form for newsletter subscriptions, general inquiries, etc., as well. (Some browsers will automatically send you back to the main page after the message is sent - if yours doesn't, just click Back in your browser, and you should be all set. That one's on my list, too...)
I really appreciate your patience as we've worked through all of this. Everything should be smooth sailing from here on out, and the new architecture will give us the ability to finish exploring some other enhancements we've been working on. In the meantime, happy knitting and surfing!
