In-House News

I'm terribly sorry this site has been down these past 4-5 days. I'm not really sure precisely what happened yet, save that access to the site has been severely restricted with most visitors seeing a blank page now for days (as of this writing the side-bars appear to still be down, and I'm not sure comments are working). Given this (continuing) mishap, as well as similar events in the past, I'm very much in the market for an accomplished site design guru to, first and foremost, prevent any such recurrences, to include ensuring I've got enough 'hosting' space on the web, and potentially also doing some varied site re-design work. Basically, I need someone with a range of expertise to perform a major tune-up. Note I'm happy to pay for this service, I just really need someone of quality with a track record to do a really good job of it, and put these types of site melt-down episodes behind us here at B.D. Please E-mail me at belgraviadispatch@hotmail.com if you're interested or have any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I've gotten some initial feedback from site designers and others, and I'll be getting in touch in the coming days. For B.D. readers, I would suggest that you probably start checking back over at this site sometime after the New Year, at which point hopefully it will be functioning well again, and equally important, I'll have some time to write here too. Sorry to be out of commission during a busy time on the foreign policy front, but I've got little choice given varied committments. This said, I do hope to be back in the swing of things in the New Year, though perhaps with slightly different emphases here (of which more later). Best wishes to all during the holidays in the meantime.

comments are working

I am, however, still unable to access comments for the last two posts (ISG excerpts VI and VII).

Greg-

Shifting tangents...I notice your last name and am aware that the name of the senior advisor to the Iraq Study Group is a fellow by the name of Edward P. Djerejian.

Are you related?

Looks good here.

No apology is necessary!

Technical issues will always be the kink in the armor most sites. At least you aren't blaming Ned Lamont's supporters like a lying wimp would. Even Amazon goes down, and they're huge.

I'll celebrate when you get a new designer, it's due, but in the meantime I concede Jeb isn't close to being UN Ambassador...it's really going to be ZK.

Poor Jeb. Whatever will he do now?

The whole site is working for me now.

Someone did something right.
