Inching Closer

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. — Lao-tzu

I feel like we’ve take thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of steps in the last three months. Every day I inch a bit closer to the goal, and yet I feel like it continues to move further away. I’m disappointed that I missed my January 1st launch goal for the new features, and I’ve learned my lesson (the hard way) about relying on folks who mean well but aren’t capable of delivering.

But enough of the past. I’m much closer today than I was yesterday, and I’ll be even closer in a few days. The final elements are clicking together, and I’m excited and relieved to be getting ready to launch some aspects of the site. My “big bang” plan fell through, so now I’m concentrating on incremental additions.

And the first is content. So many of you have contacted me about when the content will be available (and it already is if you haven’t looked around). The more important question is when you’ll be able to contribute, and that’s the first aspect that will open up. I’m in the final stages of testing, so it’s right around the corner.

In preparation for that, you may seem some momentary lapses in site features. I’m moving some things around structurally to alleviate some organizational problems that have plagued the site from day one. So don’t panic if you suddenly aren’t able to see the front page. The existing content will be at the following link throughout the changeover:

http://www.sacredloops.org/content/

Eventually all this content will be loaded over into the new filing system, but for the time being it remains at the link above.

Just wanted to post this to ensure you that all is well and moving forward.
