This week we launched our new service, WebAzetas, providing hassle-free and headache-free Web site moves daily.

After being in business for 7 years, we've had a lot of our clients ask us to move their site from their current host to another one. They might be unhappy with the customer service, price, or features. It's one of those sensitive issues because you might be concerned about asking your current host to help you with the move. And sometimes the new host doesn't offer that as a service.

Over the past few years, CiviCRM, Drupal, and Joomla! have undergone some version changes that affect the look and feel as well as the backend structure of the software.

• Drupal 4.x is no longer supported
• Joomla! 1.x will no longer be supported after July 22, 2009
• CiviCRM is only accepting issues for version 2.1 and higher

When considering upgrading your software, you may have heard us utter the familiar phrase, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." There are times when it doesn't make sense to upgrade right away. Here are a just a few:

We're launching a value-added service for Data-Scribe® clients. It consists of monthly, no cost Webinars called “How-To” Hours focused on tips and tricks for Drupal, Joomla! or CiviCRM. If your are paid client of Data-Scribe® and your organization uses one of these systems, you or anyone from your organization are welcome to attend at no charge.
