Technical problems: my Mac-mini broke yesterday morning. It will cost $450 to fix it, so I will probably just buy a new computer.

Blog news: I'm going to switch over to the new version of Blogger pretty soon. Since this is a team blog, members would have to log in to Blogger and switch their accounts over to the new version, too, if they want to post. One can even switch over to the new version right now, I think, without it affecting one's posting ability on this blog. You never know, it just might work.

From the relevant "Blogger Help" section:
What happens when team blogs switch to the new version of Blogger?

A team blog will only switch to the new version of Blogger when the original owner moves his or her account over.

Team members who have not yet switched to the new version will still see the blog on their dashboards, but it will be grayed out and inaccessible. Once those members move their own accounts to the new version of Blogger, they will be able to access the blog as before. If they can't yet switch, or don't wish to, they can ask the owner of the blog for a new invitation to join the blog on the new version. They can then accept that invitation by logging in to or creating a Google Account to post to that blog. (Later on, when they do switch their Blogger account to the new version, they'll have an option to merge it with this account.)

If a team member of a blog switches their account to the new version of Blogger before the blog owner does, then the team blog is not converted. It will appear on the team member's converted dashboard, but clicking on it will lead back to the old version of Blogger. Thus, the blog will still be usable, but without the new features of Blogger (e.g. Labels, Layouts, etc.).

I'll let you know when all this goes down.
