What it is

We’re coming to the end of 2007 rather quickly and I wanted to take a couple minutes to talk about whats going to happen with e53.org.

Bottom line is that I took a risk attempting to move the community over to WordPressMU and overall I have been completely dissatisfied with it’s performance and development. This little experiment combined with everyones busy lives has slowed blogging to something that can only be described as a slow crawl. Hopefully with a jump to the left and a step to the right we’ll find ourselves operating on a brand new (and reinvented) MovableType 4.01 publishing system.

The all new MT 4.01 has a redesigned user interface and is easy to use. It will also provide some better management for all of our sites as well as some more community features such as user profiles and forum capabilities. (apparently those are pay features and.. i dont pay for those things.)

Anyway, just another round of changes. Sorry if it bugs everyone. Current blog entries will be easier to import into the new system so that shouldnt be a problem this time. Also I still have the old blog entries from the last MT system somewhere so those might magically show up on your new blog. Once the new system is up you’ll probably see a dedicated blog for RoboFan and a blog for Robert and Pauls trucking adventures.

Anyway, just a heads up. I’m building the sandbox for testing purposes at http://myifdn.com/e53 and plan to have the new site ready for January 2008.

Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving a Merry Christmas. Hopefully we’ll be getting everyone together for a New Year Dinner Party
