ScienceBlogs hibernates...

Well for a day anyway...

ScienceBlogs is currently powered (and I say that in the most charitable possible sense) by Movable Type 3. This Saturday, we're upgrading to Movable Type 4, which will mean the following:

  • No new posts from any of us from Friday 6pm GMT for about a day
  • No new comments from you either (sad face)
  • Some inevitable teething problems when the upgrade kicks in
  • A bunch of vampiric, vitamin D-deficient bloggers who will stumble out into the bright, shiny world and be very confused, or just sit in a corner, typing into thin air and scratching themselves.

Have good weekends everyone and I'll see you on Sunday.
