Update on technical difficulties

Hi folks. Welcome back from the weekend.

I’ve got a lot of great stuff to share this week, but unfortunately things have gotten off to a bumpy start. If you tried to visit earlier today, you might have noticed some weird things going on with the design and/or server.

It wasn’t you. It was me.

I got the impulse about midnight last night to finally do an upgrade to the WordPress blogging software that runs BikePortland.org. And, as usual when I try to get to techie, things didn’t go quite according to plan.

The site is up and running now, and it’s finally upgraded to the most recent software (!), but you’ll notice there are still a few kinks in the design and layout and several features are not working. I’m dealing with all that stuff now and hope to have everything figured out soon.

The good news is that, with the upgrade, I’m now full-steam ahead in adding some new features and other things I’ve been waiting on. The most exciting of those is the new Close Calls/Collision Map I wrote about a few weeks ago. I’m working with map creator Joe Broach to get it going live any day now.

Thanks for your patience and expect more news and other stories very soon.
