I have started working on the site this week, and I think the goal of February is realistic for me. I can’t overtax myself like I was doing on the previous iteration of the site.
We WILL make the launch date goal, but the service now is so much cheaper I’m not even worried if I run over the deadline. No more pressure! Yay!
Slow and steady this time, but without the constraints of prepaid time running out on our hosting. I am hosting the site on normal shared hosting this time, which is significantly cheaper, versus the dedicated WordPress hosting we were on. And I’m able to achieve the level of site performance we need to be ranked by Google even though it is ‘just’ shared hosting.
So expect lots of updates here as site functionality comes online. The forums are online and just need to be seeded. The wiki, chatrooms, and courses platform are next on my list.
