weeklydig.com held hostage: Day 912

We know the new (old) owner doesn't have much money left after buying the paper back from the adults, but, really: Entire civilizations have fallen in less time than it's taken the Dig to not finish its online redesign (but classy move leaving an ad up on your "Can we finish this in less time than it took the Big Dig?" page).

website...

Thanks for keeping track, adamg. The truth is, money has nothing to do with it. As we learned in the most recent past, financial stability does not gaurantee the best outcome. Honestly, this is our fifth or sixth website "redesign" in seven years (I've lost track...) and we'd like to not fuck this one up. We're not worrying about a timeline... we now have total control over our site; we have the resources/team to do it right; and everything from the back end to the UI has been scrapped and rebuilt from scratch. The site will never again be a static existence: it will be a work in progress engaging both the user and our staff.

Stay tuned...it will be well worth it, and thanks for referring to me as a child, in a round-about way. I'm flattered.
