If you hadn't noticed...

idsa-atlanta.org is back up and running
No need to worry, really.

You might have noticed a few hiccups over the last few days here on the site. For the record, the chapter is still alive and well. The site as you know it is run through Blogger who, as of 1 May, switched off support for FTP hosted publishing, which we relied on up until the last minute.

Now after a few days of DNS pinball and a little magic from our friend Chip Lay at Hybrid Design we're up and spinning like a top.

We have several events to get posted now that we are broadcasting once again. We'll host the return of 'Thirsty Thursday' later this month, and more so stay tuned.
