At long last, I've begun moving PC to a more robust system. For a couple of years I've been using moveable type on my personal website, and finally bit the bullet and incorporated it into PC. It'll be a bit dishevelled for a bit, but in the long run it will make posting and archiving a lot easier. In the meantime, sit tight as I move old items into the database.
As a plus, PC news items allow for comments, so people can not only send in news items, but can also help follow up on them.
There's nearly 10 years of material to sort through and update - I know a lot of info has just fallen away, but through back-ups, I'm going to try and restore them. Once that's done, browsing PC will be that much easier.
Feedback welcome.
