A fresh start for Weblogs.Com

Quietly, over the last few days, with help from Lawrence Lee at UserLand, I took weblogs.com for a ride across the country, from UserLand's hosting service in California to my personal colo'd server in the Boston area.

In the process I saw how much weblogs.com has grown since the last rewrite, and it badly needed another, so that's what I did. So there's been a bunch of chaos in the service for the last few days, but it should have settled down by now.

I'm going to give it a few more days of close supervision, and tweaking and tuning. When I make a change you should see a note about it here. Then, perhaps it'll be time to think about some more features, esp in correspondence with the new features coming online with Channel Z. I think the combination of the two will be especially powerful.

Yes, there is a method to the madness, somewhat. ;->

PS: The eyes are those of Adam Curry. I plan to rotate cryptic pics of famous bloggers through the banner of weblogs.com, from time to time.
