Behind The Firm List Blog
Heavy Lifting
By the time you read this, I'll have finished a massive 2-day effort to finish a process I started back in March, involving
moving all parts of The Firm List over to a separate web space dedicated to just The Firm List, rather than mixed in with all
of my other web projects.
This should be completely transparent change to you, the end user. It doesn't make any changes to URLs, functionality or anything
like that. But it has involved a lot of work.
Why? Well, it was just time, after 6 years, to pull it out of my other projects and let it stand alone. It makes it easier over
the next 6 years to imagine instances where I start letting other people in to work on various elements and not have to worry about
opening my door to all my web projects.
Plus, for any of you who manage websites and web servers, it just allowed me to make some minor clean-up style changes which will
make my life easier over time. I've been lucky enough to have a great host (Dreamhost) which has provided me all of the tools and
features to be able to do all the things I've done over the years. Trust me, most other web hosts in the same price range have so
much less to offer. I know, I've dealt with about 7-8 web hosts over the last 8 years.
These changes are all part of a continual change to the site. As I learn more and more about PHP and other technologies, I find ways
to make my own life easier, to make the site more useful to my visitors and which lay the groundwork for changes/features which I've
long thought about but never have had the time/ability to implement.
Sometimes it's a real slow process, when you're working some other day job, to tackle large projects like this one. And so I wait for
times of relative unemployment, like this, to tackle and finish projects like these.
Thanks for your patience. A few of you might see momentary snafus during the process, but not likely.
