Post Script

Yesterday, fully ten days after our Memberkit software suffered a seemingly terminal malfunction, which brought down the whole of our Members' Area, it sprang to life again, as suddenly as it had died. Too late! Ten days' downtime is not acceptable for a busy website like this, and now that I have rebuilt the site with WordPress I shall be sticking with the new version. I have removed the Memberkit software from our server. It was an expensive experiment, which was the only solution three years ago, at a time when WordPress couldn't do what we wanted (or if it could, it was beyond my programming skills). Now, though, WordPress does what we want and more, a lot better and with much more ease than Memberkit, so there is no reason to go back. It is reassuring to know, though, that the problem did not stem from anything we did. I suspect that if and when WordPress chooses to go down, it will not take 10 days for its engineers to fix it.
