Live from New York, it's the new and improved Daily Gotham!

Well ladies and germs, after 60 hours of family and friends interrupted development work, I was able to upgrade the site and throw in more than a few new features to the mix.

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. I am still working out the kinks, so please be patient. Use this post for praise only. I am updating with a special report post in which you can bitch and moan about what you don't understand, what's missing or what's plain just not working.

So stroke my ego y'all. I'm open for hugs and shout out.

It is a mixed blessing for me to be not just a writer but a web developer. If I didn't have a life with two children, I would have already posted the littany of articles I have dealing with political issues and opinions on policy that I have on queue at moment. Alas, there are so many hours in a day for a working mom like.

This Friday 27th of April I will be taking The Daily Gotham offline at 10:30pm to work on the site's system upgrade.

After much discussion and deliberation I am upgrading the site from a now almost defunct CivicSpace distribution of Drupal to a custom culturekitchen distribution based on Drupal 4.7, along with a cleaner and easier to use interface based on Michael Bouldin's DailyGotham design.

How can you help?

Y'all a traditional 9-to-5 bunch aren't y'all? The stats show us that most of the traffic on this site happens between the traditional working hours. But I am not a traditional 9-to-5er and, quite frankly, my writing biorhythms don't kick in most of the time until 5pm.

So, to better the New York political zoology after dark, I am going to try out posting here during the afternoons and evenings.

I hope y'all join me sometime.

The Daily Gotham is pleased to announce a new contributor, Richard Rothstein; Richard will be blogging here, and - we wish for want must have - hopefully sharing his stupendous photography, otherwise featured on his other blog, Manhattan Details. Richard was recruited straight off Daily Kos, where he currently has a featured diary, which in turn led us to him. Here's a sample of his work:

So, welcome aboard, Richard.
