BOR Server and Site Upgrades Coming Today


by: Karl-Thomas Musselman

Thu Mar 26, 2009 at 02:20 AM CDT


This is a quick note to let you know that Burnt Orange Report is getting a long awaited move to a new server today. While there may be some intermittent "downtime" experienced as the Interwebz recognizes the IP of the new server, if everything goes right you wont notice anything.

The layout and look should stay more or less the same (maybe some small style, size, or spacing issues which we'll work out ASAP). The site should end up being WAY faster as a result and I believe that we'll be running on some slightly new code as well.

This isn't part of our eventual site redesign (which can now move forward more quickly) but is part of the "save soapblox" campaign that over $500 was raised from our readers as part of a national effort to ensure more stability in the state blogging network.

I take it we're up now? (0.00 / 0)
I just got a flood in my RSS Reader and the site is REALLY responsive. I also had to re-login. Does that mean the conversion is done and went well?

that should mean yes (0.00 / 0)
I just keyed in the new IP as well and you'll notice now the URLs are slightly new (they should automatically forward links to the old ones as well).

I'll drop in the ad codes later as that's not an immediate rush this second.

I wish my site had this kind of responsiveness. Great work and thanks for keeping the site moving forward. I owe you guys a round of your favorite beverage next time I'm up in Austin.

Thanks for the hard work. BOR Rocks!
