Yes, I know my Web site is screwed up

In downgrading my hosting package with 1&1, I inadvertently set in motion a process in which my entire Web site was deleted. My call to tech support went something like this.

1&1 Tech: "Did you make a back up of all your files?"

McG: "No. I am an idiot."

1&1 Tech: "Thanks for calling and have a nice day!"


Fortunately, I was able to restore a good portion of it and publish via blogspot as a temporary fix.

In the coming weeks I'm either gonna plow ahead on blogspot and take advantage of the custom templates, or revert back to ftp publishing.

The downside to using blogspot is that is changes all the URLs for the Web pages.

For example:

http://www.davemcgurgan.com/another_boring_post.html

becomes

http://www.blogspot.davemcgurgan.com/another_boring_post.html

Unless there is some fix for this, this is bad for any number of reasons, mostly any indexed articles in search engines won't get redirected.

Again, if you know a solution, please let me know, as I am out of solutions at this point.

To compound the problem, the nice design that Dave Koehler did for me is lost. Hopefully he will be able to do a new design for me?!

Ignore this post.

Getting back online

Site got knocked offline for several days.

Was able to restore most things, although some parts are lost for good.

This'll probably be a good opportunity to retool stuff that I've been thinking, "At some point, I should retool that."

So, I am about to get retooling.
