Byte-Sized Technology In Easy-to-Understand Language

In Transition — as the page says

Due to a monumental FUBAR between my website host, server restrictions, and some resource-heavy wordpress plugins, Bradgrier.com is currently without a home.

All is not lost:

  • I have a backup of the site, content, posts, comments etc
  • I retain my domain names etc
  • I have a boat-load of work ahead of me as I research and rebuild

Lessons learned:

  1. Backups are essential
  2. You get what you pay for
  3. Sometimes you get burned

Things to do:

  • point existing domain names to this wordpress-hosted blog
  • Reasearch robust hosts (I prefer a hosted solution as I do use some 3rd party plugins)
  • Take a deep breath 🙂

So, what have I missed. Any advice for me as I make this rather unscheduled transition? Comments are welcome!
