Moving day for ATMac

By Ricky Buchanan • February 28, 2008

The ATMac website has outgrown our lovely free home at Wordpress.com and we’re moving to a paid home at Dreamhost. Everything is set up and ready to go and in theory you shouldn’t notice anything … but we all know what happens when theory meets reality! So there may be a few hours where you can’t access the site. Please don’t panic - just be patient and try again later.

For those reading with the email or RSS subscription feeds, you might get dumped with 10 or 15 old posts all at once when we move across. I apologise in advance if that happens despite my attempts to prevent it.

So please buckle your seatbelts, stow your tray tables, and make sure all guide dogs are sitting in their assigned spaces. There may be some slight turbulence during the flight, but once we get settled at the new home plenty of goodies await. To whet your appetites, one of these is some fantastic new graphics that James from Mac Tricks And Tips is designing for us.
