• We've done it !!!

  by katieglover April 5, 2011
  Hooray!  We've finally done it and I'm soooo pleased!!! Our new community site is online at last.  It was a bit shaky to start with and we had a short time when the site got so slow it nearly crashed altogether, but we fixed that and it's quite speedy now.  We'll work on making i...

• Why do I bother?

  by katieglover March 22, 2011
  I sometimes wonder why I bother at all.  Every time I've said we are just a day or two away from making this site live, I have been scuppered by one huge problem or another.   It seemed like we were all set to go a few weeks back and I told everyone to say goodbye to the old site once an...

• So close to launch

  by katieglover March 2, 2011
  We are so close to launch now.  I feel a bit like the Launch Director at Kennedy Space Center.  Our new site seems to be good to go, sitting on Pad 39A with the public still being kept a safe distance away.  But before we do anything rash, like pressing the 'launch' button, we have to...

• No pain, no gain

  by katieglover February 17, 2011
  Get ready for some disruption girls.  I know I keep saying this site is almost ready for launch.  Well it really is... almost.   Our developers are still putting in the billing module (you know, the one I said was still just a spec in my last blog entry).   A new version of o...

• Still, Stiil Nearly There

  by katieglover January 22, 2011
  Surely, nobody can be as frustrated with the recent lack of progress in getting this site live than me.  Well, lack of progress is not really fair because we have accomplished a great deal since my last blog entry.  However, a new tide of work has emerged that we had not reckoned on. &nbs...

• Still Nearly There

  by katieglover January 9, 2011
  Funny, I've been saying that we're nearly there for ages now, thinking this new site would be up and working in just a few days.  Months on and we are still only nearly there.   There are a number of problems on the new site which we have to fix before we make it live.  We have ...

• Nearly There

  by katieglover December 29, 2010
  Well I think we are almost ready to switch sites.  Our developer did a rehearsal earlier today and only found a couple of problems.  I won't pretend that they were minor probs.  They were enormous actually but I think we can get round them.   Maybe we'll do another rehearsal an...

• Extreme pizza delivery

  by katieglover December 18, 2010
  Okay, so maybe I was being too confident about launching this site "in the next few days".  Perhaps I was too cocky.  Anyway, it hasn't happened and we still have a number of problems which are causing trouble for us, which we need to get fixed.   This has put back the schedule for ...

• Coming Together

  by katieglover December 2, 2010
  I'll probably be tempting fate by saying this but I feel like things are finally coming together. More new features are turning up every day (some behind the scenes) and I'm so glad that we now have our birthdays feature installed.  Unlike the birthdays feature on the old site, this one is qui...

• Katie's last blog entry on this site...

  by katieglover November 27, 2010
  This will probably be my last blog entry in this site.  As you can see, I'm not exactly a prolific blogger and we will shortly be moving to our new community web site which is awesome.  I hope to continue blogging over there, perhaps a bit more often than I have here.Thanks, Katie   :)
