New blog location

For several weeks I’ve been unable to add new posts here, or to get hold of any support from PortugalMail/Blog.com.  Finally after comtacting some of their employees directly the migration to the new WordPress platform was completed.  I have the new WordPress dashboard, or at least parts of it.  But the blog still looks a mess, as it did when I was stranded mid-migration a couple of weeks back.  And there’s advertising (e.g. for a Seventh-Day Adventist college), and unlike under the old Blog.com setup, I can’t find out how to upgrade to get rid of it.

In any case, I started a new blog yesterday at http://reynoldsbooks.weebly.com .  I may come back here if things get fixed, but for now the blog is there, not here!
