apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


New & Improved

While you were all out playing in the sprinklers, we were switching all of our blogs to a brand, spanking new server with Dual Xeon Processors and 2000GB Premium Multi-Homed Bandwidth courtesy of the nice people at Liquid Web who will probably own the right ankle of our first born before too long. Our apologies if you logged on when we were temporarily down or if you are missing Shannon's Poet Laureate post.

What difference will this make? As our tech guru, Mark, said, "you guys have been running your sites on a server like a compact car. This server is a minivan." Very exciting, no? Actually with the steadily rising traffic you should see a quickness to load and no more crashes (like we had in the past few weeks). It will also make our store, splash page and new comments system run like butter when they come out in the next few months. xo

So THAT's why AT seemed frozen in cyberspace for a few days there. Thanks for the new and improved. After minivan the Ferrari?

"right ankle of our first born" and "run like butter" ----love your way with words.

Very quick, even on my decrepit PC.

Forget the Ferrari, make it a Mack truck next!

Please, please, PLEASE no "splash page." The blessed simplicity of your site is one of its finest aspects. Please don't tart it up!
