The move to my new server has taken place, and I seem to have lost one post, entitled ‘Watching Gordon Brown’. That was only to be expected, as it was a post I wrote after I had executed the move. I will republish the missing post, and paste in the comments that were made under it. As I had expected to lose the post, I saved the comments in Notepad.
Thank you to everyone who helped in moving my blog to the new host, in particular my regular readers, Tony and dolbyn, as well as Daniel from the excellent Daily Blog Tips blog.
UPDATE. The comments are not loading properly, and I am working on it right now.
UPDATE 2. Comments and permalinks fixed now. I had to update my permalink structure, so it’s all working well now.
If you subscribe using Live Bookmarks, they may not work. Perhaps better to re-subscribe? Thank you. Actually, scratch that. I am told that this is a feed problem. Because the dns has not updated, it is trying to load the site from the old server. Live Bookmarks subscribers need not do anything. The problem should fix itself when the dns resolves to the new server.
Also, if you notice anything that’s not working right with the blog, kindly leave a comment or email me.

Test comment.

Congratulations. Something to consider, maybe write a blog article on what you had to do to move your blog, and what problems you had and how you solved them. That way the next time somebody has a problem and uses google maybe your artical will help them…

Yes, dolbyn, excellent idea. I will do so.

Glad you got the move done Bel.
Now we can look forward to more entertaining reads

Hi Bel
I am in the process of moving my blog to wordpress and wonder what the advantages of having wordpress hosted rather than just with them are?
I’m moving to wp because it seems to offer better protection and control over obscene and abusive “comments”.

‘Watching Gordon Brown’
Shouldn’t bother if I were you, Bel. Also, it might not be Firefox per se - it might be another malfunction such as cookies loaded surreptitiously.

Count yourself lucky, Bel.
I am being messed about by BT, after having moved into a property where the phone wasn’t connected. This means that two weeks on, I still have no broadband, even though it is supposed to be activated and I get a ring tone when I dial the number.
they say the engineer will sort it out this week.
My hopes aren’t high.

Oh boy……my sympathies to you Bel. I just got a new computer (this old one has a cracked screen, the letters are wearing off the keys, it hums and I just don’t like it. Anyway my new one is still in its box in its bag because I am just terrified to turn it on. One of the disadvantages of relying on ‘other folk’ for years to take care of such matters is abject terror when the need arises. I am hoping that there will be as many people offering to help me over the next wee while. Glad to see you back though - the voice of reason (yet with a bite)

I only notice one problem with the new site, an absence of posts from our hostess :p
