Hope to be 100% in a few hours.
Surprisingly, it all seems to be working okay. Even the wiki, which I was certain would break.
If you notice anything broken, leave a comment, or email ask (you know the symbol) johnaugust (dot) com.

This site is run by screenwriter John August. Mostly, he answers reader-submitted questions about the craft, but occasionally he goes on tangents that run far afield of writing and filmmaking. You'll also find info on past, present and future projects.
For photos, blurbs and uncomfortable self-promotion, you can check out his Facebook fan page.
If you have a question about screenwriting or my movies that hasn't been answered, by all means ask. There are a few guidelines to follow.
There are more than 900 articles on the site. You can find category archives at the bottom of every page.

Sorry, I didn’t really mean to post this in the comments section but I couldn’t find your contact info. I thought the site http://www.rootclip.com might be an interesting story for your blog. It’s a do-it-yourself filmmaking website where the users work together to make a film.
Basically, we create a short video clip or “Rootclip” to start the story. Amateur filmmakers watch our video, then shoot their own rendition of what should happen next in less than 2 minutes. The result is an entire short film made by amateur filmmakers. We think it’s pretty exciting.
Our last film actually debuted at the Travese City Film Festival, so the results are surprisingly entertaining.
I don’t know if this kind of thing is interesting to your readers, but I find that most people involved with film and video production love what we are doing. Maybe you can help us get the word out?
Thanks for your time, and I hope to speak with you soon.

The rss feed (or “live bookmark”) isn’t working from the Firefox 2.0 bookmarks toolbar. If I try to re-add the feed by clicking on the orange symbol on the far right of the url window, Firefox complains that it’s getting invalid XML.

@Grant:
Thanks. You’re not the only reader reporting it, so I’ll look to see what’s going on. It’s likely WP 2.6.2 thing, since I just upgraded that as well.

My live bookmarks aren’t working either. Again on Firefox. I thought maybe I just needed to re-add the live feed, but that got and error too.
