Technology, Hosting Issues Will Not Win

I thought it might be appropriate to share with everyone some truth about my own blog. I am presently in a major conflict with a company that has my database on their server. They are not wiling to give me access to it. Add to that a hosting company with a customer service department with a passion for sending form letters and you have a recipe for aggravation. Consequently I have had to look for other resources to move my hosting and access a copy of my database. I recently downloaded a plug-in suggested by Court, to secure a copy of my database There are some blood, sweat and tears in the content of this page and I don’t want to lose it to the unscrupulous ones in our culture. As most of you know, technology is my nemesis, so I outsourced my issues to Courtney Tuttle, or at least tried to, and Court concluded something I already knew. “Don you really need to ditch your hosting company”, the transfer of my domain is underway as well as the hosting. I have chosen Blue Host as they host all my niche sites and I have never been treated as well as I have been with them. Their customer service techs are really helpful and have restored a measure of my faith in the customer service process. Perhaps when this is over I will review the above company in Blogger Unleashed style, but by that time my anger and frustration will resolve itself, but my oh my , it’s tempting.

The Times They are a Changin

The Truth About Home Based Business Opportunities

The tag line for this site is the truth about home based business opportunities. As we enter a new year my purpose for discovering legitimate home based opportunities has been intensified. Why?
