Many of you responded to our pathetic plea a few weeks ago for donations to help cover the site’s hosting fees, and we appreciate your generosity. My webmaster/brother Jeff tells me we have enough to cover a year of hosting on a new, supposedly reliable server!

We are making the change this weekend. You shouldn’t notice any downtime in the site as we transfer stuff over. However, we will have to disable the comments while we move. If you want to post a comment somewhere and see that it’s not an option, that means the transition isn’t complete yet. If it is an option — i.e., if everything looks normal — that means your computer has successfully found us on the new server, and all is well. The amount of time it takes for that to happen can vary from one ISP to another, but it’s usually 24-48 hours.

Thanks again for your support, and here’s hoping the new server will actually deliver on its promise of near-100-percent uptime!
