This would be the post that says “test post” but wait! There’s more!
So we’ve upgraded VP to use WordPress, ending a 9 year tradition of custom code and letting me focus on doing actual stuff that matters. Unfortunately, in the process all the comments have been lost – I hope temporarily.
(Minor technobabble:) We’ve been using Disqus on most of our sites, and while I enjoyed the extra functionality it brought to the table, migrating platforms causes all of the comments to disappear. They’re still out there, but the “glue” that connects them to the site gets lost somehow. I actually spent a few hours yesterday on code to (I hoped) link everything back up, but it didn’t work, so for now we’re sticking with stock WordPress comments and I’ll hopefully have the old comments reimported sometime next week.
In the meantime, it’s business as usual, and if you notice anything weird (I’ve done less testing on this site than anything I’ve ever done!) please let me know through our spiffy new contact form!
