Locusmag.com migrated to a new server today, which is why you may have tried to view the site, early this afternoon west coast time, and seen a fragmentary homepage. The specific problem there was, the new server didn’t have the php scripts for displaying the news feed loaded, and the php tags broke the html structure of the rest of the page…
Moving to the new server is roughly like upgrading the server’s operating system, and we did this to enable installation of Word Press, with which we plan to host the various blogs, including News, Reviews, and Roundtable, currently run via Blogger, which is abandoning FTP support by the end of the month.
The new server’s control panel also provides some new features that I’ll be exploring. But the next, immediate, task is to install Word Press and see about migrating the Blogger blogs. More on that soon.
