New VentureBlog

OK, so the new VentureBlog hopefully looks like the old one. Over the weekend, I finished the move of VB off my overtaxed home server and onto Media Temple's shared server host account. Among other features, it comes with Movable Type pre-installed and is a much more robust system than I've got at home. DNS is currently propagating, if you're reading this post then you're on the new site.

I also moved VentureBlog to moderated comments as part of this changeover and I'm having some issues getting it up and running. VB was built two years ago and used a lot of early 2003 template formatting so I had to cut and paste between new and old to keep the old look but get the new features. The good news is, I have an "in" at Six Apart and probably can find the time to get it fixed in the next couple of days. The bad news is, you may not be able to comment until then.

There's also a few minor things, like our "Most Popular Posts" page, that I've had to take down. Over time, I hope to add that back.

As we approach our two year anniversary (the first post was February 23, 2003), we would all like to thank you for your continued readership and comment. This site has turned into a lot more than any of us who started it ever expected it would.

Update: Comment authentication fixed! Comment away...
