New blogging system; update your bookmarks
By Zach Ewing
It's happening bit by bit, but you might have noticed bakersfield.com is switching over to a new blog platform. That's why any comments you've tried to leave today aren't working; all previous posts under this old system will be available to read but not to comment on.
In addition, School House Zach will have a new URL: http://www.bakersfield.com/blogs/school_house_zach
Update your bookmarks accordingly. Eventually, this URL will re-direct to the new home for the blog, but for right now, you'll see nothing but old posts.
I've been schooled on the new system, and this is going to be an improvement -- eventually. But bear with us while we make the change.
