Today I upgraded the core (concrete 5) of the site to the latest version. I would like to say it went well, but that would not be true. A package in the past failed to install, and although it was supposed to have been removed, bits of it still remained and this were preventing the site from upgrading. The good news is everything is back up and running and on the latest version.
Other progress on the site has been on hold for the last month, but I am trying schedule in some time to work on it. Hopefully the basic layout of the verified twitter accounts will be completed by the end of the weekend.
