Website update
On the evening of Friday, August 22, the current WORLD on the Web/WorldMagBlog site will become inactive. It will still be accessible, but you will not be able to post any comments, and no new articles will be posted to the site, except for an announcement directing you to the new site on Monday, August 25. During this downtime we’ll be transferring all the posts, comments, and user data from the old site to the new one.
The WORLDmag.com site will be up and running as usual over that weekend, but on Monday the 25th a new, upgraded version of its home page also will appear, which will include links to the new Community site featuring WorldMagBlog and the new Commentary section, with posts written by several popular WOW writers.
Remember, if you’re already registered on this site, your login and password will continue to work at the new WORLD Community site. There’ll be no need to reregister.
We’re excited about the new site and hope you are, too.
Please pray for all to go well during the transition. Thank you

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
As I’ve said, I don’t pray. However, I advise everyone reading this to pray very hard, very often, and very sincerely. God knows what is really in your heart and it will all become visible on the new web site.
I told them not to do this. “Don’t do this,” I begged. “You really don’t want to do this.”
Be … etc.
What are you guys doing to me?! It took me a while to get used to this format & now you’re changing it again.
Random - I am afraid…very afraid.
Karen, let’s hold hands. It’s dark in here, and a litle scary.
Your husband? My wife? I’m sure they’ll understand that it’s completely innocent.
Isn’t there a presidential candidate running on the mantra of change? I hope this has nothing to do with that!
Hey, if it keeps me from having long posts lost while typing because of the software problems, I am all for it. But then, I switched to Firefox at home as well as at work, so I don’t have that problem any more.
We did fine when we moved to this format. We’ll do fine next weekend. Wasn’t there a thread on fear this week? Nothing bad has happened, and even if something untoward did happen, it can be remedied.
NJL - Thanks for your words of comfort.
Random - I just did my nails, so don’t smudge my nail polish.
Can we have a pull-down menu of really strong, virile adjectives? That would be quite convenient for me.
Ugh, I gotta change my links again. Why can’t the internet just slow down to my speed and quit changing?
What rea you talking about changing your links?
I think he means favorites or bookmarks.
As I mentioned in the July 30 announcement, anyone following a link to worldontheweb.com (as well as our old URL worldmagblog.com) will be redirected to the new site. But it still would be a good idea to update your links/bookmarks/favorites once we make the move.
