It has been two long days. I moved this newsletter's web site to a new hosting service and then spent the next two days fighting with a problem installing and configuring the web site's SSL certificate. That certificate is required to handle credit card payments securely and also is necessary for the subscription management software that grants access to restricted areas of the web site to Plus Edition subscribers. After a few telephone calls to the new hosting service's technical support department, the problem is now resolved.
Plus Edition subscribers can read the current and two previous editions of the weekly newsletter online, as always. That is controlled by the subscription management software.
One final issue remains: the "blog" software that handles the daily Plus Edition articles as well as the comments and feedback on those articles by readers. That software could not be installed until after the subscription management software was installed which, in turn, could not be installed until after the SSL certificate was installed.
I hope to get the new blog software installed shortly, although probably not tonight. I'm going to bed after a couple of very long days. (yawn)
