It took longer than expected, but I’m back online.Because of the billing cycle of my old hosting company, I needed to cancel them, before July 9. But, since the week before included the July 4 holiday, neither my old host, or new host moved very fast. So, that week was lost, and then it took 4 days of the week of July 9, before my new host got my domain transferred, DNS servers configured and then to get it propagated throughout the web. My domain finally became visible on Thursday afternoon, July 12.
Currently I am doing some volunteer work that leaves me without internet access from Friday morning, until Sunday night. So today, Monday 7/16, I finally got things configured so that I could get back online.
I’ve decided to use the “WordPress” blogging software for the core of my site. I think I can update the site faster, and it will be easier to change things around using WordPress. WordPress is the most popular blogging software around today, and it is free to boot. Please be patient, since it is going to take awhile to get all of my content online. But I will be working to reload some of my photo galleries along with lots of new stuff over the next several weeks.
One other reason I decided to switch to WordPress is that I hope to be able to update the blog (maybe with photos) from Paris when we are there over Christmas.
So, there is lots to look forward to, and I’m hoping you will all enjoy the site.
