New Features and Site Upgrade

Last Friday, I did a site upgrade to version 14RC1. It was a little fiddly, but it got sorted in the end. Please kick the tyres and let me know if there are any problems that you see.

I am preparing to add a way to syndicate content from other sites as posts here. I am keenly interested in helping scholarly societies get more exposure. You can help by pointing me to any societies your are aware of. We can syndicate from many types of sites including wordpress, wild apricot, and open journal systems. We understand that many societies do not have regular posts. That is perfectly fine. We just want to help more people find what they are posting.

Our early adopters / test sites are New Zealand Association of Scientists (wild apricot), New Zealand Science Review (open journal), GFANZ (wordpress), and Bevan Holloway (wordpress blog). Every one of these will be assigned to a category. Users can subscribe to categories to personalise their feeds, allowing you to focus on what is of interest to you.

I reckon it will be late this week or sometime next week when we add these.
