It appears the transfer to the new server went well. Thanks to all those who worked on it.
After some unforseen issues and delays, Millennial Star will finally be moving to a new server before the end of the week.
Here’s the latest M* update: we are moving to a new server over Thanksgiving. Starting Wednesday night, I would ask for no new posts and no new comments until Monday Nov. 27. By then, we should hopefully be on our new server with new administrative help and new bloggers. Yet another thing for which to be thankful!!
