One, two, three…
The Legal Genealogist is lumbering into the 21st century with a website update that, well, isn’t as smooth a transition as we’d like it to be.
First there was the problem of trying to see what the changes would look like before they were permanent. On a host that was roughly the speed of a glacier.
Then there was the glitch with the export of existing content. Using a platform that wasn’t designed to do that very well. And didn’t.
Then there was the question of importing the content. Which should have worked flawlessly. And didn’t.
And then…
And then…
We all love technology, right? Until it bites us right when and where we least expect it to.
In any case, the outer shell and innards of the new site are now up and working. At least I think they’re working.
And while this is all going on, it doesn’t help that I’m in Canada, speaking at the 2016 Ontario Genealogical Society Conference, where I’m having great fun and meeting loads of new friends… but that is just a wee bit of a distraction from website issues, y’see…
So the big issue at the moment is the email subscription system. We think we may have gotten that fixed and, if so, this post will go out to email subscribers.
Keep your fingers crossed…
Sending technical woes sympathy. Technology is such a blessing for talking to each other. And such a curse when the components refuse to play nicely together. I’m a loyal follower, and will be here through any changes on the site. For now, the emails are coming through just fine. Thanks so much for the article on the surveyors and the chains. My acncestors did that in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine. Must have been strong men…
The email came through, and your posts appeared in my browser. I thought something looked odd. Then realized that the identifying info– the header, the banner, the links, that kind of thing– were missing. But I know who the Legal Genealogist is, so I wasn’t confused. Thanks for the explanation, though. Enjoy the conference, Judy. We’ll be patient until you get home, catch your breath, and can get things sorted out.
