Changing of The Guard – End of Spikey Bits?

By Rob Baer | July 20th, 2014 | Categories: Uncategorized

Well if you’re reading this you may be a little concerned by the title. Truth of the matter is though I just really, really, wanted you to read this post.

If all goes according to plan this should be our very last post from our current blogging platform. Today and Monday July 20th we will be moving everything over to a new platform which we hope will fix a lot of the server and RSS issues we’ve been experiencing since January.

What does that mean for you? Well not too much really, mostly the same layout, formating etc. BUT we’ll actually be able to keep the site up more often than in the last seven months, and help our writers have all the tools they need to make their articles their absolute best!

So the king is dead, long live the king! Thanks for reading guys, and see back here again soon! -MBG
