Yes, and so did Premiere Bro's web host. This web host update has compounded an already debilitating bug within the hosts blogging platform. Premiere Bro isn't about throwing people or company's under the bus, so let's just say Premiere Bro is excited to be moving to Squarespace where blogging features will be much more robust and reliable. Stay tuned for a subtle change in look and feel in the upcoming weeks.
