    Here is a foto of a very young Waltraut Haas. Had she infact been that young while filming William Tell with Errol she might have ended up Mrs. Flynn. Anyways, they got along quite well since she is a very palsy star. Matter of fact “shamrock” posted about her on the blog mistakenely under the name Waltraut Hass. Can anyone tell me why the entries are gone?

      We actually migrated this current form of the blog from another host on another server some time ago. They were great people but decided to end their blogging platform. We knew we would have to move the blog, and doing so meant migrating a lot of data. I chose WordPress for its stability, but during the migration we lost all attributions, all web pages we’d constructed, many, many links to photos, videos, and audio, and there were other glitches, too. As before, we are a hosted version of WordPress, not the free version. We had a Main Page on the old blog, and this conflicted with WordPress which has a Front page by default. It took a lot of workarounds to force WordPress to act more like the old blog. Our Main Page is actually a category, and all other categories are forced off of the Main Page here on the blog so that you can choose which other categories you would like your post to appear in besides the Main Page. Or, have it not appear on the Main Page at all. All articles still show up in the new posts/articles/comments list on the sidebar.

      Most let their posts go by default to the Main Page so they can be seen by everybody. You also could choose to help fill out our categories for people searching them by ticking second and third categories where your post might fit, and your article will also appear in those other places. Few also take advantage of creating a gallery for their images. But in any case, we limped over to WordPress as the safest harbor we could find. Otherwise, we might not be here at all.

      If you look back far enough, you will see the damage done to our blog by the transfer. Missing files, dead links, missing photos, etc., still we are alive and kicking after a serious broadside. I made backups of everything I could before the migration. I have all of the missing attributions, for example, but to try to add them in now if possible at all would be a Herculean effort. We have over 11,000 coments on the blog, and something like two and a half thousand posts. There are going to be dents in the hull back there that can’t be repaired, or easily repaired, and with a few exceptions, we sail bravely on …

      Tom may have created a typo?
