After the diasaster …

By TNV, June 23, 2009

As you may have noticed, The Next Village disappeared last week. This was due to an accidental technical catastrophe (I deleted it) which occurred during a complicated software upgrade procedure (I was trying to install the new version of Wordpress). You’ll be glad to hear that I was plunged into a black and terrible despair when I realised what I’d done. It took me a while to remember that all the contributions still exist, on my computer, and were not lost forever. So, fear not, The Next Village will be back.

Mindful of the current political cliché – never waste a good crisis – I’m taking this opportunity to make the site a better looking and more robust kind of thing, and to try and broaden its reach a little. By this I mean simply that I’m taking my time reposting everything, and trying to generate a wider readership by promoting it a little more than I’ve previously done.

I’m going to take a little while redesigning, and then I’ll start reposting all the contributions one by one (maybe one a day or something like that) until we’re bang up to date and rolling again with new stuff – of which there is already an exciting backlog.

Thank you for your patience, especially those of you who have contributed work to the site already.
