The new 'theme' is now live and active without the need to be logged in.

I make it no secret, even at work, that my current role is … not exactly dynamic (read boring) so ask my manager towards the end of last year about opportunities in our wider team.
When I returned after the holidays, I was informed that changes were happening, people moving around, and that I was to start working with another team. 1 The idea is to move people around more often without having to go through job applications and interviews etc. giving them better exposure and knowledge.
This is the kind of approach I've been seeking for years.
The past few days have, therefore, been a bit of blur as I (and a couple of others) start climbing the knowledge curve.

And that's it... I've made the switch – the muse-letter is now WordPress free. Everything is transferred and redirects are in place for old links and the old RSS feed (for those who use that rather than email.)
One small, but useful, improvement over the original system is that it automatically works out the next edition number based on the last one in the database, that way I only need to worry about the title and am not a risk of getting it wrong ... again.
Testing has all gone according to plan but I won't really know that everything is 100% okay until the next letter. Life on the edge, eh?
