Updating, Upgrading, and Repairing the Website

If you've tried to access our "Digital Archive," you'll know we were off-line for a while, due to a small but fatal error with software updates. It's fixed now, and I hope to add large bundles of digital images as soon as the infernal updating process is complete.

If you're interested in such things, I've been detailing the Drupal update process. Step One and Step 2 are completed. I sincerely hope there will not be more than five steps total, but software updates usually surprise me, and not in a good way.

Following the old computer user's adage "If it's not backed up in three locations, it's not backed up," I've been making sure all our digital materials are adequately backed up. It's easy to let data acquisition get far ahead of annotation and backup.
