Scienceblogs.com pauses for software upgrade

The whole Scienceblogs.com site (all 60 plus blogs) will be performing an upgrade to Moveable Type 4 starting today at about 1 pm (Eastern Standard Time, US, Friday, Jan. 9). The site will remain up but there will be no posting and no commenting until the upgrade is complete, we hope by late Saturday sometime. I don't think you will see much difference on your end but there will be improved speed and new editing tools for us and, we are promised, future improvements in commenting and other features, for you.

Meanwhile, there are lots of great science blogs out there, so take the time to search them out and visit them. For public health there is still The Pump Handle and I highly recommend Stayin' Alive. The blogroll in the left sidebar is a good place to start, especially for bird flu stuff. We'll be posting again as soon as we can.

On Friday there will be some upgrading of the site so commenting will be off for a while, and possibly, comments will be stuck in moderation. That is all thank you very much.
Hear me, Ubuntu-using brothers and sisters! Never use the on-line upgrade option to switch to a newer version of the operating system!
ScienceBlogs is getting some back-end work done this evening, with yet another server/ MT upgrade. This is intended to help with the frequent timeout problems that bloggers and commenters have been having.
