A couple of people have asked if I would blog about the preparations for my
wedding coming up in July. No problem I said, until I came to do it!
I decided to try and use my Blogger blog which had lay almost dormant for a
couple of years. Back in the day between 2004 and 2009 I had been publishing
from Blogger via FTP to my ISP who were hosting the files along with this
domain. It turns out that the Google owned Blogger stopped publishing via
FTP last year. And PlusNet, in their wisdom, had taken my website down for
no better reason than I changed broadband package. It turns out that my new
tariff only includes a meagre 25MB web space. Or something equally
laughable. And in spite of a FAQ commitment that legacy customer web space
allocations would be protected for anyone moving to a new package, they took
it down anyway. After numerous emails and phone calls I decided it was time
to move on.
The good news was that my blogger account was still active, and all my posts
remained intact. The DNS records for my domain could be altered which meant
I was no longer reliant on PlusNet to host the content. Although I prob need
to move the domain permanently.
So, the vagaries of internal and external style sheets not withstanding,
here we are. Back up and running I think.
Apologies if things look a little weird for a bit. If feeds etc don't
function as expected, I am working on it. And if you have any expertise in
this area and think you can help then give us a shout.
Tap tap. Is this thing still working?
