I got some very good news late Friday night … when I discovered the brand-spankin’-new www.efx3.com website.

Why do I feel that way?

Because, until this happened, it seemed like the efx community was dying. Keith had gone who-knows-where, and he didn’t leave anybody with the full set of keys. Nobody seemed to know what to do, and we all remembered some lengthy efx2 outages. With the pending domain renewal deadline approaching,  my nightmare was that the site would simply expire — in more ways than one.

It didn’t happen because a team of hard workers were just as alarmed as I was … and they had the skills and the initiative to put together a new site. I’m so grateful to Welsh Pixie and the others who got it done. Best of all, with several admins in charge of the operation, it means www.efx3.com won’t be totally dependent on one person and his/her interest/time. Also, full backups. Read the details on WelshPixie’s post at efx2blogs.

Yeah, backups of our posts at efx2blogs are up to us, but they did post info on how to at least copy them to our computers. If only they could be moved over to the new place … but under the circumstances it seems like a minor point.

The important thing is that we still have a place to go where we can write about our lives and the things that concern us … and keep track of the online friends we have gotten to know and love over the last few years.

That makes it, in my opinion, the best Friday the 13th ever.

Hey, we got lucky.
