Yes, I know, it’s a science fiction blog, not a fantasy blog, but sometimes when things finally go right after a struggle, it’s tempting to equate great skill with magic.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Things were not working out for reasons that–it turned out–had nothing to do with my stuff, Ruta who built the sites and customized the blog themes,\u00a0 Karen who took over maintenance and started on the moving process,\u00a0 and a great deal to do with Other Persons Somewhere Else than where things are now.\u00a0 Being deliberately obscure here, though I’m about to be more specific.\u00a0\u00a0 And since on my computer the image at the top looks squinched, if it looks squinched on yours that’s something that can be fixed later.\u00a0\u00a0 The important bit is: all sites with their blogs are moved to new servers, up and running, and you should experience no gaps in access from here on (of course, if you do, email me.)\u00a0\u00a0 Some other behind the curtains stuff is still happening, but should not affect your experience, until we do some cosmetic work.<\/p>\n
So–coming out of the obscurity–I want to thank the people who helped with the transition:\u00a0 SFF.net’s stellar staff, Steve and Jeffry,\u00a0 my new-since-last-summer web-guru Karen, and last but WAY not least Anne Yates-Laberge (anne226@gmail.com), who dove into the difficulties caused by Other Persons Somewhere Else, deftly yanked things loose from the Somewhere Else and got them all tidied into their new home and functioning.\u00a0\u00a0 If you want\/need help with a website, moving a website, hosting a website, etc, I recommend Anne.\u00a0 Karen and I were both getting punchy from the struggles with Somewhere Else’s tech support.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile,\u00a0 COLD WELCOME has had some nice early reviews which\u00a0 I haven’t had time to post (need to go back and look at editor’s emails to find them) and INTO THE FIRE is very close (I know I said that before….)\u00a0\u00a0 There’s only one more real fence to jump on the way to the finish.\u00a0 WHEW.<\/p>\n
So all in all a great birthday, with the move done and a good birthday lunch under my (expanding) belt.\u00a0 Now to finish INTO THE FIRE and learn all the rest of the music for Lent and Holy Week (!!!!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
