RIP: The best Blog Hosting Outfit... Ever

first Tough Crowd -- now this?!?!? Ok -- here is the dealio around here: I went over my bandwidth for October a week too soon. This delighted me no end -- at least I *think* it wasn't all spambots... Unfortunately, when I contacted the hosting company to change my plan or pay the overage fees I got no response. Nuttin'. Nada. Since this was so out of character for the Proprietor of this establishment I became worried -- I even wrote him an email asking if he were dead on the floor. [yeah -- I know. Hey it was late and election week and... just nevermind that] That is why I was off the Lovely Interweb for a week. Thank heaven for the lovely SondraK and Knowledge is Power or I would have been printing pamphlets in crayon and leaving them on stuck on windshields. [blogging addictive?!? pfaff!] The grand conclusion of all this is Bloghosts.com is going belly up. They have irretrievably corrupted data ...er, stuffs, perhaps via an intentional hack, and, for some reason which is completely opaque to me, are quitting. Worst. News. Ever. In a long time. I'm feeling unaccountably distressed about this -- which fact in itself has me distressed. Just to go whole hog about the thing, I have decided to change over from MT to WordPress. Everyone who uses it raves, it seems much more powerful and useful from the info on the site, and no rebuilds. So that's where I've been -- research, with a touch of running in circles and an undertone of burnout. With just a tad of utter amazement and incomprehension at the reaction of the Moonbat cadre to their recent spanking. More on that last bit soon. Thank you for your patience with me and for continuing to check back. Do c'mon over to Knowledge is Power for some of the other stuff I do and wish me luck on the Big Changeover. I think the antici....................................................................................................................................pation will prove worse than the actuality.

1. Change is good.

   Complicated.

   Confusing.

   Time consuming.

   Nerve wracking.

   But, in the end GOOD.

   I recently made the switch from MT to TYPEPAD, and am still adding my link collections back a bit at a time while learning to use the new system.

   Good luck!
