Hello all:
I transferred everything over to a new server last night and this morning.
The bad news first:
I haven’t had time to uploaded the MySQL databases for Restorationwiki, so it is currently down. Also, I haven’t uploaded the MySQL databse for phpBB either, so it is currently out of commission on Restorationmovement.org
I recently installed a classified ad server to use on Restorationmovement.org as well, but I haven’t given out the link, and its down, so I doubt anyone cares. That will be up soon though so that if you’re church is looking for a preacher, or if you want to advertise your business or service, for free, you’ll be able to. It seems like a nice little system.
Good News:
Our hosting services gives me six, count them, six, domain names. So, Restorationmovement.org is actually Restorationmovement.org, and not clarkecomments.com/restoration. That also means that there can be restorationmovement.org email addresses. I might offer some of these out if anyone is interested.
My wife finally has hosting space for her domain name that we bought a long time ago but didn’t.
I have three more spaces for domains, and my server will pay to register the names. I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do with those spaces, but it leaves lots of space for future projects.
I have 20 gigs of webspace. So we shouldn’t ever run out…
The new hosting service should be much more reliable, and they actually give refunds if they cause downtime issues.
Finally…thank you to all of you that recommended different web hosting ideas..I just had to go down with this one, it was too good to turn down.
Also, it looks like the notification emails aren’t really working. If you’ve gotten a whole bunch, let me know..but out of the several I sent, my test account only got one of them…

Wow, aren’t we moving up in the blogging world? I wish I had the knowledge necessary to do stuff like this. Another reason I got rid of my blog was because som many problems were occuring with blogger.com and I had no clue how to work around them. It stink to be partly computer illiterate.
P.S. I sent you an email (actually a reply email) many moons ago, did you ever get it?

J.P.:
When I first got wordpress I was kind of overwhelmed with it, but I kept playing with it and starting figuring things out. Now I’m about to the level where I can really screw things up with it if I’m not careful
I did get your email. I’m sorry for not replying sooner, I will. I am terrible at returning emails quite a bit of the time…I’ll read an email when I’m about ready to walk out the door thinking “I’ll do this later” and then it doesn’t get done. I just need to let the email sit until I have a few minutes to read AND respond. Sorry about that.

You’ve got some really good CofC and RM links here. I like what you’re doing here and wonder if you’d like to join the Churches of Christ blogs aggregator. If you’re not familiar with it, you can view the aggregator here:
http://groups.blogdigger.com/groups.jsp?id=1700
It’s strictly non-commercial and non-agenda, just a way of letting a lot of different voices in Churches of Christ come together at one place. If you’d like to list your blog with the aggregator, all you need to do is send me your Atom or RSS feed URL. Hope you do. Peace.

Mr. Stanley:
Thank you for your kind words. I would love to have my blog included in the aggregator. I will send you my feed URL.

Congrats on the move. It couldn’t be too bad, you’re here within a day of the move.
So, who’s the new host? Who was the old host? Email me if you want. I’m going to have to do this at year’s end and it’s got me a little concerned. I have no idea how to do this, but I know that I’m not sticking with my current host. Very little customer service. Just plain painful to deal with. So I’d love to benefit from your research, although some familiarity with Movable Type is a requirement for me.

No problem, on another note, the CoC Aggregator is an awesome way to stay connected with fellow brethren from our tribe, It’s one year anniversary is coming soon. Seems like yesterday, Milton, you started it.
