Welcome to the new, improved We Hunted the Mammoth!
We’ve moved from WordPress.com and replaced the old WordPress theme with a streamlined custom theme. And we’ve been able to implement a number of long-requested features that will make navigation easier and commenting more pleasant. In related news, the Blockquote Monster has resigned to spend more time with his family.
Moving a blog with 2471 posts and 573,557 comments (yes, really) to a new server is a messy job. We were offline for longer than we expected while we tried to get all the old content up. And we’re still sorting through issues with plugins and widgets and so on. If you notice some weirdness going on please let me know in the comments below. Or send me an email.
And let me know what you think of the new features.
HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks to Tracy Bradley, who handled the redesign and the big messy move and dealt with all the technical glitches that came up. For free. Without her help the new site would look crappy and not work and my head would have exploded from frustration about a dozen times. Hire her for stuff!
OK. Nevermind, I see it now!
Does that cyberkitteh in the article’s photo have the gantry from Launch Complex 39 as part of its cybernetic implants? IMPRESSIVE!
Just commenting to get re-subscribed to the email notification list for new posts. (I couldn’t find any other way to do this. Is there an easier way?)
Nice site update, BTW. I really like the “random posts” section.
Oh, and I’m new. Hi!
I am loving the random posts. I’ve only been lurking for around a year, so it’s a great way to read some of the older stuff.
This is Tracy, testing image embeds!
