As I wrote last month, I’ll soon be launching a new version of Shady Characters. Specifically, I will be replacing the current version on or around Friday 17th April. You can preview the new site at https://staging.shadycharacters.co.uk; with luck, it should look more or less identical to the current version. That said, a few things will change:
- Comments will be handled by email. When you submit a comment at the new site, it will pop open an email template for you to fill in. I’ll review and moderate all comment emails before adding them to the site, which means there may be a delay before your comment is posted. Drop me a line if you have any problems.
- Email subscriptions will change (but you shouldn’t notice). I’m retiring the existing email subscription system in favour of a new one but will carry over all existing subscriptions. If you don’t want to receive email notifications any longer, you can unsubscribe over at the newsletter page.
- This will be the last post on WordPress. If you currently follow Shady Characters via the WordPress app, you won’t see any new posts after today. If you’d still like to follow the blog, sign up for the email newsletter or follow the RSS feed in your favourite feed reader.
And that’s about it! If you want to get a preview of the new site, take a look at my most recent post, about a trip to Egypt I took in February this year. Leave a comment on the post to let me know how it looks!
