State of the Blog

I think I’ve been able to restore more functionality to the blog following the infection by a worm that managed to cause considerable havoc. Newly registered members can now subscribe once again via the subscriptions button at the top of this page. There are a few more tweaks that need to be taken care of however, and if you run into any issues, please let me know.

thanks
