There may be brief periods of downtime during the next couple days, but they should not significantly impact the site 2. If you created bookmarks of any of the pages other than the front page, they will need to be updated.  We are still in transition right now, so wait a week or so to do this. 3. If you were on the old Blastmail list, you should have gotten an email asking you to confirm your address for the new list.  Please do so NOW if you haven’t already.  The old BlastMail is DEAD.  If you didn’t receive your confirmation email, you can sign up from the front page.
