World of Hurt: Blog/Calendar heads up

Hi all,

I'm sure you've heard me talk about how we're updating the blog.  Well, the time is near.  Mid-August we'll be going live (around the same time as captains practices start).

A few things:

1) If you currently have any type of "feed my inbox" or "blogtrottr" set up for http://hurtult.blogspot.com/, that function will break.  If you have something set up for www.hopkinsultimate.com, you should be fine.  Same goes with bookmarks.

2) The current iCal will be removed in favor of a new one.  So if you subscribed to that calendar, go ahead and remove it.

3) Now is as good a time as any to check your Parent Google Group set up. If you want out/in or want to change the email address on file, please let me know.

4) When the new blog goes live, if it looks weird at all click Ctrl F5.

5) http://hurtult.blogspot.com/ will exist out there on the internet for the foreseeable future, so any references to KITs or past tournaments/rosters will still be available in an archive.  We're not permanently deleting anything.

The purpose of the new blog design is to provide more information and be more user friendly.  We can always make changes to make it better.  We're using a pretty standard Wordpress interface, so we may not always have the technology (i.e. push notifications are a long way off), but we can always try.

Similarly, when we go live there may be some materials that are not yet available (a few things need to be finalized with the board first, and 2014-2015 forms may not be ready yet).

Thank you all for your patience, we hope this is an improvement!

Reminder: the summer is when we get better.  Go play ultimate, stay in shape or improve your fitness, recruit, and get ready for an awesome 2014-2015.
