I finally have server access!

Things were getting a little tense this week as some promised dates were set and fell with no progress, but Wednesday brought the server’s IP address and some modifications to my /etc/hosts file.

The IT folks with Gannett got the server set up this week, and are in the process of migrating our database into the WordPress install. (They need to modify PHPMyAdmin’s config so it will accept file uploads of up to 512 MB. Our database contains more than 10 years of posts.)

Once the import is done, I’ll get to work on the site’s theme, and then The Lantern will have its new website.
