For the last few weeks we’ve been working behind the scenes to modernize our web infrastructure. Now that we have the new web server running, I (and by me I really mean Chris, because he did all the work, which makes this the best transition ever) am merging the X-Plane Scenery blog into the new development blog.
All of the old posts have been transferred to the new blog. The old blog is still in place; the main page will redirect here but the individual articles will “stay” in your browser for convenience – there are plenty of links to the old blog on various forum posts, etc.
If you have the scenery blog bookmarked, please update it to http://www.x-plane.com/blog/.
Does this mean we’ll be seeing other developer’s comments here as well?
I’m sure i’ll be making posts from time to time.
Thumbs up to that!
Cool. Nice to see this move (I was already surprised a few minutes ago by the automatic forward and the new design) 🙂 Will you move “Hacks of Life” too or will it stay where it is?
Andras, I don’t think the hacks of life blog will be consolidated – it’s not an official LR blog in any way.
Jay, not sure what else will end up here; Chris may begin posting – he refused to post on blogger because he’s stubborn^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hfor reasons of principle. We’re not sure what we’re going to do with Austin’s posts yet.
We’d love to have Austin on this blog too!
One little suggestion – do get and implement a captcha system guys. I (most of us, I guess) would rather see you working hard on X-Plane 10 than hunting down link-spams throughout the blog comments 😉

Ah, that… never mind, then ;>
The xplanescenery blog was hand moderated…it’s not that burdensome and without it I didn’t really know who was saying what. Also blogs tend to attract link spam, so I like to know what’s actually posted!
I thought i seeing things the layout was like the one i use…wordpress…
Thank god you have got away from that google login, this far better….
Nice and apparently smooth move Ben, and great to see others contribute more (but I thought it was just you 🙂 )
Nice comeback from Chris on his first entry! I love Austin’s stories (ooh, carbon fibre, I could stroke that! Tell him NOT to paint it..), but if you add him as a contributor, make sure u have extra gigs of storage 🙂
