We upgraded our blog server yesterday, making some changes and better integrating the blogs into the site. We now have things looking consistent, a menu on the blog site, and single sign-on!

I, however, didn't have that yesterday. There was a mixup in mapping my blog to the account I use on SQLServerCentral and all of a sudden I couldn't blog yesterday. When another user complained they couldn't, I admit that I was a little peeved when I called the developers, and actually still am, but I also over-reacted a little. You see, I forgot the one important thing to examine when troubleshooting.

"Is it just me? "

 And it was, with the other user being confused about the new layout and my account being mixed up, things didn't appear to be working. We had a call to work through things and decided on a few things to fix and what the issues were. Some things are being done and hopefully we'll smooth them out early next week.

Despite finding the issue with my account, apparently a bug in the integration, I had to wait until today when a restart could reset the caching on the server and get me logged in. So I was without access for a day, and I had a couple things to blog, but decided to sit on them until today.

I'm curious what people think about the new blogs, any SSC member can comment, and anyone can get a blog, though you still need to send me a note. (webmaster at sqlservercentral dot com)
