Starting Over for the Third Time

Posted on | August 16, 2010 | View Comments

Normally there would be hundreds of posts here.  I’ve been blogging since 2000.  I’ve changed hosts and domain names and all kinds of things.

I was already aggravated with the inefficient way my old host ran things, it was difficult to make any changes, the permalinks were a mess, and then somehow the database got trashed.  Totally unrecoverable.

So I bit the bullet.  I moved all of my domains and hosting to Go Daddy and now I am a happy camper.

Since I was facing a do over anyway I opted for new look too.  I guess it was time for a total makeover.  So please bear with me while I get the site back up and running.  I currently have a day job so this will take me a bit of time.  I look forward to our future chats.

    Hey Caileagh :)
    I never saw this place before it died (I seem to remember it dying about the time we met) but this is looking fabulous. I love your header. It reminds me of an Agatha Christie set. Beautiful.

    I have to be honest and say I groaned when I read you’d switched to Go Daddy. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about them recently. That said, lots of people use them without any problems so I’m hoping and trusting you can be one of those people. :)

    Thank you for including my site in your blog roll. Very honoured. And I look forward to reading more as this place finds its feet.

    Hey El,

    Thanks for the comment. I hear your groan. So far so good with GoDaddy. I do have to hunt around a bit to find things but they way WordPress runs on their servers is fantastic. I was with Network Solutions and it was horrible. Permalinks were of the server name, not my domain name, nothing ever installed right and they were very expensive.

    My old site pretty much came from my angry voice…which I just got tired of so it’s not all bad that my old database is gone. I’m recreating myself so my personal site needs to reflect the new me. :-)

    I will put Give a Brick on the blogroll to this weekend. I was literally head-bobbing nodding off when I was working on links last night. Was up too late the night before with the nasty malware…that is now gone. Woohoo!

    I am enjoying getting to know you. You have a great spirit and you are an awesome storyteller.
