Good Grief ... here we go again

Once again, I've climbed up from the MySQL pit of despair into a working system. Once again, I've had to completely re-do the theming and graphics of the site. Can anything be easy?

Someday I'd like to do an upgrade that is simply an upgrade rather than a complete crash and rebuild. But that is not my lot.

The Gateway is still functional, but on the old server. It shall be upgraded soon. (I'm always saying that - but this time I'm losing the server so it has to happen). Only the forums, news, and community writing area really disappeared. I am in the process of retrieving bits of still-readable and still-useful information from the old database now. They will be inserted as time goes by.

At least we have some good things going on the site now -- starting with community tagging. At the bottom of most posts, you'll see a box labeled 'my tags.' You can insert any tags you feel appropriate for the post and they will stick. We can all tag each other's works so as to find it more easily. Not only will the search engines find these little nuggets, but the most popular will be listed in the right-hand column. Find what you want more easily ... that's always a good thing.
