Last evening, in between bad weather and hot weather, I worked toward the final configuration of Site No. 4. I continued to verify my list of steps and realized that although this was the third time I had set up this type of site, I had still missed making note of some key steps along the way . . . kind of sloppy really . . .

If we change to a more logical directory structure for future press releases, do we redirect from the old ones? And replicating to eSnipe's multiple geographic sites is always a little risky and time-consuming. Our practices are not as automated as they should be--but by hosting ourselves we weren't hit by the Amazon outage either.
