    Blog Upgrade

    I'm working on upgrading blogs. This is a big upgrade, major. The blog software company went out of business sorta, but since I bought the blog software the forum software company added their own blog product that integrates with the forum better. So I need to switch the software, this is big, some things may be lost, but it is necessary as if we kept the old software it would never be able to be upgraded in the future.

    So blogs are turned off, hopefully I'll get them back up in a couple hours.

    Oh I was wondering what happened. All of a sudden there was no blog link. I do hope they are not lost. There's a lot of stuff that can't be replicated in there. Especially personal things.

    don't worry, I've got numerous db backups incase something breaks during the import, including one done in the middle of the night last night, and one done just minutes before I started

    okay okay, I think I'm done. Some things may have been lost.. namely it looked like blog categories got ganked. But posts adn comments are all there, and you may notice new features, or changed features, explore.

    the good news is, this software is much better supported and updated than the old stuff, so as time progresses it should get better and better and more integrated with the forum.

    well... it looks like blog posts lost their titles... I'm not sure if there is an automatic fix for that. I will check.

    If not... well... it'll be manual editing to fix it. sorry.

    Oh.... so it isn't everything. I think that might be comforting since I was thrown a bit when I first hit the site. I normally go to blogs first, and the new format is nice. It is just so... well... new I guess. I like it, just didn't know what I had missed. Thanks!

    It's good, but will take some getting used to with most recent comments being on the bottom of the list instead of top, is there a preferences button I can change this with?

    Hey I'm confused. How does one add a comment to a blog? I can't find the button.

    If you scroll down, you will see the window to type in Virgil. Once you finish typing you can press the POST button.

    For some reason, some have the window and some don't. Janine's blog doesn't but mine does. I'm confused?????
