Really ... the new site is coming soon!

I realize this is "old news," but progress on the new site has been very good since the completion of the book project. I currently have the site up and running on my machine, using the latest Geeklog release (after scrapping the work I had done once, as it was too hard to support). I'll spend some time this weekend on finishing up some of the ancillary details and completing work on the other themes (yes, themes -- four or five to choose from) ... but we should be going live sometime in the next week or two at the absolute latest.

As a bit of a preview, one of the nice new features is a greatly improved search engine, courtesy of the team at Macfixit (who added the functionality to Geeklog). Here's a little sample of what you'll soon be able to do ... click here for a larger preview.

The new search engine allows searching on phrases, all words, or any words (finally!), as well as offering highlighting of the search terms in both the results window (shown here) and when displaying the source article.

It's been a much tougher project than I had expected, but we're finally nearing the finish line -- thanks for hanging in there while this kept getting pushed to the back of the priority list.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
