S1E1 -- back from the dead

After a long and unintentional hiatus, S1E1 is back running. Instead of the custom code it was running before, it's now on Movable Type. And Jessi has hit the ground running, with first-ep reviews of Hanamaru Kindergarten and Baka Test.

UPDATE: Pete, you having a bad day or something?

A bit of back story, for those who tuned in late: The old version of S1E1 wasn't run by Jessi. A friend of hers volunteered to take care of everything for her. She would compose her articles and mail them to the friend, who would post them for her. If there is an RSSPECT feed, he's the one who set it up.

He got sick. He stopped posting her reviews. She talked to him a couple of times to see what it would take to get him moving again, and after being patient for about three months took the hard decision to work around him and do it herself.

But she's never done anything like this before, so I understand it. The first and biggest job was to save all her old reviews and get them into the new CMS, which is now done. She started posting new stuff in the last few days.

If there are problems, the right way to deal with them is to let her know about them, privately if possible. Publicly flaming her (especially on a site she may not even know exists) is pointless and... not very nice.

1 Ah, thank you for defending me in my stead, since I was gone all weekend and mostly without the internet. I try my best but web design really has never been my forte.  Still, I don't think that's anything to have to apologize for
