We are retiring the Rock Your Firefox blog, and would like it to be archived. Please redirect people to: https://twitter.com/rockyourfirefox

The content for the retirement blog post is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jOTEg9y0PCOnwnBAIWSc-d3FcKQfsqOxVpPKmaZrFwI/edit

The blog post says the site will shut down in October, but if it can happen sooner please change the text to say "at the end of September".

Thanks!

Ok, so we're not saying anything or bring it back to life in any form, right?

What is the status of the blog post in the Google doc?

[Amy Tsay [:amyt]]

No, it's not going to be brought back in a different form.

The blog post is ready--do you want me to publish it now?
