Like all big construction projects, the update comes with ... surprises. A surprise that strikes close to home for me is some inadvertent breakage to my authorial website. That's at www.sfwa.org/members/lerner/ (but you knew that. Right? :-) ). As the URL suggests, my website is hosted and webmastered by SFWA.
SFWA's web wizards will be cleaning things up. Till then, pardon the dust.
March 11, 2103 update: I have no idea why, but this post had a spate of visitors today. Given that my website moved almost a year ago (announced March 20, 2012, as Grand opening!), here's the link to the new(ish) and improved Edward M. Lerner: Perpetrator of science fiction and techno-thrillers.

It looks like the folks at SFWA jumped the gun. Not only does the "new and improved" site not meet W3C accessability standards, but to judge from other comments, links and former content are not fully restored.
To my way of thinking, the new site is also considerably less attractive than the old one. But, hey, I'm not a member; so who cares what I think?
Hmm. That lack of accessibility sounds like an issue to me. FWIW, I'll pass along your concern.
Catreona, here's a response from SFWA that I hope you'll find helpful:
"Thank you for passing that along. Please let your reader know that there is a plain text version of the website specifically for readers with visual impairment. The button is "Plain Text Version" at the
base of the menu.
"A direct link:
http://www.sfwa.org/index.php?wptheme=Text+Only"
Cheers,
- Ed
Thanks for taking an interest, Ed. I really appreciate it. *scratches head* I missed that button somewhere, but will bookmark the plaintext site.
