Ok, so you are probably wondering what the heck is going on at TRT (TheRunTime). Well, we are changing blog software. I told the guys that I was doing it (and it's taking me longer than planned), and I'm guessing that everyone is either busy or is holding off on posting until I finish my conversion.
Should be a matter of using the BlogML stuff, right? Well, it would be if I could produce a BlogML file for my blog (which when I transferred from CodeBetter was over 10mb... I know that doesn't sound like much, but evidently there is a lot of processing going on there).
The other problem was that I pushed a couple blogs on our dev site and ran into another weird problem (probably with our new software's BlogML input routines). I moved Wade's blog over and then Rob's (and I should have gotten interspersed entries... I ended up with Rob's entries appearing more recent than Wade's).
So I'm writing SQL to do out conversion... too many issues with BlogML for me.
Anyway, please bear with us. I hope to have the new software up and running in the next few days.
We'll sport a new look as well, so if you hated the old look (and many of you hated what it did to your browser), be ready, you'll be able to use the new site again (that is if you read our site on anything but an RSS reader).
BTW, we are switching to SubText (since I now have Jacob to yell at if something doesn't work; he's on the SubText team)... there's a longer story behind why we are leaving Community Server which I'll blog about after I get the new site up.
