Testing, testing… 1..2..3…

Not sure if anyone noticed, but I’ve been having some serious site issues. I hadn’t looked at the blog since last week, and when I went to post on Monday morning, the entire blog was gone. Just not there anymore. In place of my blog was a lovely text message telling me to install WordPress. WTF!? I have no idea what the problem was, but I’m 99% sure it was a problem with my host’s WordPress installation. This is exactly what happened in October. So, bye bye crappy host!

After a bit of mucking around tonight, I’m all moved over to a new host. I lost a few comments in the transfer (note to self - back up once a week instead of once a month!), but otherwise all appears well. Hopefully. We shall see.

I also had my first unfortunate hotlinking episode today. I sent off a nice e-mail to the person who hotlinked to one of my images. I’m sure she didn’t mean to do it on purpose, but it’s annoying all the same. Just an FYI, in case anyone who reads this wants to use one of the images found on this site - please e-mail me for permission before you take the picture for your own use. All of the photos on this site were taken by me and I own the copyright to these images. I’m happy to let anyone use the images for non-commercial purposes, as long as you ask!

Update: Ah, my new host seems to have spam blocking software on my e-mail account that won’t let comments from my blog through to my e-mail.  A nice feature indeed, but hopefully I can change the sensitivity so that comments get through.  Sigh.

Things are never simple are they. That reminds me. On copyrights - do you have to have a statement on your blog or does it exist even without the statement (just for my personal knowledge)? I’m glad you’re up and running and hopefully getting comments.

I’m curious as to what host you are with now. And how can you tell if someone’s hotlinked your stuff? I worry about that occasionally for my own stuff. And talk about backing up stuff - I’ve only done it once since I switched over to WP. Thanks for the reminder - will definately back up more regularly!
