WELCOME TO THE NEW ADVENTURES OF CHESTER!
Welcome to the new and improved Adventures of Chester!
This is the first in a series of exciting changes and announcements here at The Adventures of Chester. There will be one a day or so this week.
Here are some things you need to know about the new site:
1. New features: A bio of Chester; a better blogroll; syndication via XML; better news links; full-fledged Milblogs membership, and a new image for the Milbloggers to boot. Chester's new email address is chester@theadventuresofchester.com. The site is published with Movable Type and hosted by Hosting Matters.
2. Improvements to the new site are continuous. There will be several added features in the coming week (RSS, more news and blog links, etc).
3. There are some outstanding issues: migrating archives from Blogger has not worked as planned, and only posts from January, 2005 have been added. The remainder, from October through December, 2004, will be added in time. If you post a comment, there is a chance that it will be lost when the rest of the old site posts are moved. But comment away -- the discussions will be lively while they last. Another issue is email. Chester can send via MS Entourage, but can only receive through the web. So his responses will still be a bit slow until this is resolved.
4. This move has been in the works for some time and would not have been possible without the technical support of Bill Roggio from the fourth rail, and the design assistance of Brian Scott from The Blue State Conservatives, a brand-new group blog. These are both great guys and they run excellent blogs. Please check them out.
5. This new site would also not have been possible without the contributions of readers -- which have now been exhausted. Thanks very much and if you like what you see, any donation will be gratefully accepted. A Paypal link is new, and the Amazon link is still available.
6. While the changes go on, the content will continue. Tomorrow night we will discuss professional reading, as promised. And Tuesday morning, Part 2 of Conservative Critiques of the War will be published. And of course, all of the reactions to the day's news that you've come to expect will continue unabated.
Thanks for your patience and understanding as the changes are implemented. Please email Chester with feedback.
