After a little snafu at my original host, I am forced to go back to hand-put the blog back together. So, you might notice pictures missing or something that should be there but isn’t, so I apologize in advance.
Mind you the problem is something that I as a technical person know should not occur – when you delete something on an Internet server, most times there is a watchdog feature – so if the deletion happens by accident you or an admin can go back and undelete the item without having to go to backup tape.
My original host — GoDaddy — doesn’t do that and so here I am re-creating everything. Now, that I’m on the subject, since when would a host provider jumble the payment area and host settings together as to make you think that you’re deleting an auto-pay item and not the actual website itself. I hope they take a look at that, because funny enough, I think they do in hopes just so that someone will be forced to have them to restore from backup tape (at a cost of $150) because who backs up their website? I know I should have, but isn’t that why we pay for hosting?
OK, rant over – so on with the show.

2017 update…. Well, early January last year (2015), I changed hosting providers again. I just can’t see paying $15/mo for the simple hosting I need, especially when the original promo contract was $3/mo. That’s a 5x jump, so maybe a small suggestion from the peanut gallery: make the initiating contract be a little more than $3mo so that after the promo the price only goes up modestly. Of course knowing the price goes up every year after makes the first $15 really hard to swallow sine the next 3 after the regular price will probably go up to $19/mo. For someone doing nothing commercial and only hoping to continue my tech understanding, this is ludicrous.
So, after this last hosting provider change, I ran into another major snafu trying to get WordPress to work. It has taken 13 moths to figure out and when I stopped to look at it… it was almost comical how simple it was.
Well, back up and running, putting the old pieces together so I can post and snip and whatever the hell i want. After all this is my world, my way — MyDaye.
Again, on with the show.
