**** Update 8/2/10 – As you can see, we are up on the new software. Please be patient as we get everything working on the new platform.
Well folks, for better or worse the time has finally come to convert the Biker Law Blog to a new software platform.
We have been working on moving this site to the new platform for over a month. That is why you have not seen many articles from me in the last month.
The conversion has been a nightmare. Getting the hundreds of articles, and thousands of user comments to the new system on a test domain has not been easy.
Once the conversion is done, there will literally be almost a thousand URL redirects that have to be done so all of the articles, links, etc., from the old software, will go to the new software.
The new software will be fully functional, however many of the design features of the new site will be worked on after the conversion is done.
I have finally decided to put my foot down on the conversion. This thing could go on for months. I am not willing to withhold my articles because I am waiting for a new system to be designed. So I have made the call to convert even before everything is finished.
Initially, the new software platform will look like the old software platform. I designed it that way.
However in the weeks following the conversion, you will notice new design and functionality tweaks.
If any of you notice any bugs or problems when the conversion is done, please let me know via the contact page on the new system.
Thanks,
New site looks great thanks for fighting the good fight and keeping us all informed
Thanks Blueie. It is still a work in progress.

That is really good move. I wish you luck for future!

Thanks Mike and good to hear from you again my friend. I rode B2 for as long as I could but it was just too difficult to get updates done or customization done. There are some things about B2 that I miss such as my registered users getting email notifications of comments and posts. Then again, their was a bug whereby registered users got the spam comments as well before they were moderated.
So far I am happy with my decision.
