I hope no one was too shocked by the sudden closure of the previous Platitude of the Day web site. The software was just becoming more and more difficult to keep running.

The new site is a free site hosted by WordPress, a very popular and highly regarded blogging platform. This is very different from the old platform. There are bound to be a few difficulties as we get started, so please be patient, we’re going to be learning how to use this together. On the plus side it should be possible to get help online just by googling how to do things in WordPress.

As this site is being provided for free, there will inevitably be some adverts, sorry about that. I also imagine the owners are probably quite keen to keep everything as non-controversial as possible, but as I very rarely have to moderate discussions on POTD, I don’t see this as being a particular concern.

Please let me know about any problems you are having or any suggestions for improvements. Long may our little community continue.
