Upgrades and hard work

I recently migrated nick.pro and other sites from Regulus over to a new server named Atlas, it’s much more powerful, but there were some hiccups in the transfer that I’m slowly having to iron out. I also just upgraded WordPress to the new 2.7, and I must say, I’m not a big fan of the all-grey...
