Sometimes you can't leave well enough alone

by Tom Ferrio

I reached my limit yesterday afternoon. I got tired of our web address having that "blogspot" in it so I pulled the trigger on changing our web address to the simpler progressive-charlestown.com.

Then it dawned on me - should I really have done that 2 hours before leaving for fire district training?


Anyway, our faithful readers can now reach us at progressive-charlestown.com. If you have our old progressive-charlestown.blogspot.com address bookmarked it will still work and you will end up at the new address.

But it may be a while before I can declare that everything in Progressive Charlestown is working... As a website evolves the complexity of the working parts increases. And all those working parts must work together.

After the fire department training, and well past my bedtime, I worked on fixing some things that I needed to change but could not until the transition to the new address "settled out" across the Internet.

Currently, the Recent Comments section is not displaying anything most of the time. But I'm not (yet) convinced it's my fault because that feature has a reputation for unreliability.

Also, I'm not convinced that the Facebook linkage is still working. If you suddenly see our "Like Count" drop to zero in the next few days it's not because A) everyone decided to unlike us simultaneously or B) because I'm trying to hide the number of our fans. It will just be one of those "Tom tried to fix it and made it worse" situations.

Anyway, if you see something else not working please let us know, through an email to progressivecharlestown@gmail.com or a comment here.
