For the last few weeks, as time permits, I’ve been making substantial revisions to the backend code for the Writer’s Database. That, and testing just about every action it’s possible to perform on the site, to make sure the new code didn’t break anything. As of tonight, everything I’ve tested is finally in working order, so it appears safe to launch the revised code.

You shouldn’t notice any major differences. If you do, please let me know, if by “difference” we mean something that needs fixing.

Easily anticipated Q: Charles, why are you spending time on changes that we end users aren’t even supposed to notice?

A: A very reasonable question. These “invisible” changes to the infrastructure make it possible to introduce new features that you will notice, down the line. As always, stay tuned.
