Blech Reloaded

I’m still feeling very icky. I thought I was doing better and then last night I had a low grade fever and super sore throat to go w/the coughing. Ugggh! I called the doc and they plan to squeeze me in tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, my voice hasn’t completely come back yet. I’m not going to work today either. Maybe giving the ole voice box a break will do the trick.

The domain is still in flux. Sometime between now and tomorrow it is supposed to be completed. Today would be perfect as I’m off and have time to kill. Daytime TV is sooo overrated. 😛

@#$%! Where is Moby?

I just found out I have to switch my domain from a MS server to a Linux server. Apparently, the last rep I talked to at 1and1 didn’t really know his biz because he gave me the wrong info. What this means to you, my dear readers, is my blog will temporarily disappear sometime between today and Wednesday.

Fear not, I will be back. I just may not be reachable for a few days. My entire domain will be affected. I could switch back to the old blogspot address but thats pointless.

I’m doing a backup of the entire domain now. I have to reload everything! I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much. 1and1 has been superb so far. No one is perfect right?

I also found a fantastic new template to use too. Totally different from the one I have now. Slick as owlshit if you ask me. *g* It probably won’t be up until late this week or early next. I want to get the domain back up and running first, then get wordpress intergrated. *crossed fingers* If all goes well, I’ll update the template last. Well that is the goal anyway.

Blogs Blogs and More Blogs

In my search for a blog managment tool, I’ve discovered there are more than a few out there. I’ve narrowed it down to just two, wordpress and moveable type. Both use php as the code, which I’m not familiar with. That said, I think I’m up for the challenge. Being a technophile does have its advantages.

So first things first, I discover I have to move my domain. While this doesn’t affect the blog as of yet, it still presents a hassle. My domain host tells me for mySQL to work, I have to switch my domain from microsoft to a linux server. Of course, this means I have to download everything from the site to prevent any info from being lost during the switch. They wipe the old site completely. Blah blah blah…..

I haven’t quite decided to make the jump just yet. I’m still doing some fact finding to get everything lined up. Wish me luck!
