So, I had to rebuild my site lately. I’d heard a lot about the new version of Wordpress lately. No my site is on wordpress.

For a while, I’ve heckled folks who keep their blogs on wordpress. I guess I really shouldn’t have, since it really is an awesome tool. It’s lightweight, quick, and gets the job done with super-ease.

I’ve settled on a pretty minimalistic, if not Gator-esque theme for the site. I don’t want people to have any sort of hassle to see what I’ve got to say, so I elected to not add too much to this.

Anyways, I just thought I’d say something about it…

I always act too quickly. I was at home the other night, learning up on microformats, and realized that I needed to update my site in order to take advantage of the support I can get for them, with Drupal 6. Instead of doing the migration via a development site, I immediately started changing the live site. When things went south, my site was down.

It’s been a busy week, so the site has remained down since then. I’m just outside of Knoxville, TN right now, and the computer that I saved all of my old DB info (like, ummm, any content) is back home in Altamonte Springs, FL. So, this is the only content available right now. I should have everything up and running again sometime early this week.

Crazy times, crazy times …

I checked my bank account this weekend and found my host, A2Hosting, had charged me for a year’s worth of hosting earlier than I expected. I was initially upset, but after some digging, I found that they had tried to contact me before hand.

Well, I canced my account and moved to a cheaper host anyways. I guess it really pays to keep up with even your most obscure email accounts, just in case you have something important going there!

The site has been down for a few days while I make the migration. Of course, it’s been tough to complete, since the world hasn’t slowed down for me to get things done. I’m still working on getting all of the content back up, so if you’re favorite content isn’t around, don’t despair: I’m getting it.
