Still alive...

Well, it's taking a little longer than I had hoped to move to my new site. The crux of the biscuit is that one of the database files that contain the content for this site seems to refuse to upgrade; suggesting, possibly, corruption in the database.

I do have ways of exporting the data, and re-importing it on the new site; however, the problem is that I can't be sure that the numbers of the entries will be consistent between sites. This is a fairly annoying problem, since the "permalink" for each entry is based on the entry number in the database.

So if the entry numbers changed, someone could have a link on their site to my post on the Designer's eye, and that link could end up being a dorky picture of Edgar.

All of this will work out, I'm sure, and I'll write an extended post about the process -- as well as all of the other things that have been going on (lots of work in the yard today!).

I'd like to put in a plug for my new host while I'm at it: Lunarpages. I'm only on the $7.95 a month plan and their tech support people have still been working hard to solve my problem. Thanks guys!

Anyway... Sooner or later the problem will be solved, I will transfer the site, and this will all be behind us. Until then... I beg your indulgence for a little while longer. Keep checking back!
