You may have noticed that TypePad which hosts the Voice was down for an extended period over the last couple of days.  Thus the error message you received if you visited during that time.  The Voice 3.0 has been on TypePad for about 15 years after starting as a print flyer (Voice 1.0) and moving on-line 22 years ago on a proprietary content management system (Voice 2.0).  TypePad has been a little wonky for a while and there haven't been any feature upgrades which was concerning.  Then the news hit last week that TypePad will be shutting down on September 30th.

So, it is on to Voice 4.0 as we migrate to a new platform and hopefully keep our archive of 5,500 posts and more than 136,000 comments intact.  It's been a great run with TypePad and I'm sorry to see them go the way of so many bits and pieces of technology.
