The server has been taking a hit, since the upgrade. This is an unfortunate side effect of major site upgrades. All the site content has changed so needs to be re-indexed by search engines as well as the Drupal processes of indexing content for internal search etc. Currently 30% of the content has been indexed the rest is processed in small lots every hour on the hour.

In a little over 12 hours from now I will be making the long promised upgrade. It will be a lengthy process as there are a lot of changes. I'm expecting it to take at least 3 hrs possibly 4. Many of you may be wondering why it will take so long, so I will outline the basic process.

Google have released Chrome Frame for Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8. Chrome Frame provides the power of Google's speedy JavaScript engine and Safari's WebKit rendering engine for Internet Explorer.
So this is only a plugin not a new browser but for all those people stuck in offices that aren't allowed to upgrade their browser, which I believe is the majority of Internet Explorer users, maybe they can install a plugin.

The CSS Creator logo comp is closed to submissions. Thanks to all those who took part either submitting logos or adding comments. Some of the designers have really come up with creative, original designs. Now we have the hard task of choosing a winner. You can help out by posting your top 3 logos here, or by tweeting your favorites with @csscreator #logo included in the tweet.

I have set up a twitter account for @CSSCreator. The account will be used initially to keep people informed of the redesign and development. I'll use it to let you know when the site comes back online as it will be down for most of a day. Don't get too excited, it is still a while off and there's still much to be done, specially on the design side of things. Just one day left in the Logo Design competition. Then we have the hard task of choosing a winner and then designing the site...
