Comment (by someone_else):

 Replying to [comment:31 gk]:
 > Okay, the test worked and the code looks good, thanks. One final thing I
 am wondering is whether we really should contact the blog or an external
 resource after an update. If that goes wrong (mybe there is an issue with
 the server, or whatever) the users are seeing a weird error message
 instead of the site we want to show them and instead of the familiar
 about:tor page (which is now a backgounrd tab).

 This is a very valid concern. The blog is usually at least half a day
 behind in publishing news about updates. (There seems to be some general
 problem with the infrastructure with site updates being slow to trickle
 down.)
