Day 685 - May 1 - The End (and a new beginning!)

We have reached the end of an era on ConnorWatch. The service that has carried Connor, the Williamsons, and the ConnorWatch Community through almost two years of this journey is changing, and as a result, the ConnorWatch blog has to change as well.

This will be the last post available on Blogger.com. The blog will continue, but in a new format and under a different location. Because of the changes to Blogger.com, we can no longer use Blogger and imbed the blog in our website. If you get this by email or Feedburner, that service will be disrupted until we get the new system working.

The website has been changed to support this change and many of the features you've grown used to are either changed or not yet implemented, so there will be some inconvenience as we make this transition. 

To access the new blog, click here:

ConnorWatch Blog

or copy and paste this link into your browser:

 http://www.connorwatch.org/index.php?option=com_lyftenbloggie&view=lyftenbloggie&category=0&Itemid=91

You can also go to www.connorwatch.org and choose the ConnorWatch menu item. You do not have to be logged in to view the blog, but you do have to log in to post comments. We'll get that sorted out later. 


The ConnorWatch blog continues, as does this journey we are on together. 


Thanks for traveling with us.

Day 684 - April 30 - Blog Conversion in Progress

It's Friday morning, and the last 24 hours have been a scramble to get a functioning blog in place to replace the Blogger.com functionality that we relied so heavily on for ConnorWatch.

Many modifications have been made to the blog portion of the website, and when you visit the site, though the menus are the same, the blog has changed dramatically. Many of the old functions are yet to be added, but commenting is available, as well as a few new features. Many of the new items will required some explaining, but feel free to explore and click away to your hearts content.

There is a new menu item for the Blogger Archive, which is where all the old posts reside until we manage to get them transferred into the new system.

What is not yet working are email and feedburner updates - still have a ways to go on those, but if you rely on email or Feedburner notifications of new posts, recognize that you will no longer receive updates, at least until i can add that functionality.

I will continue to work over the next few weeks to restore the missing functions, but for now, visit the site and see what the new blog looks like.

Brad
