Thanks to everyone letting us know the blog was down the past week. Apparently our hosting company decided to retire the database server that was the backend to this site…without telling us. I have sent multiple emails to their support, and have heard nothing back. Finally, this morning, I went through their FAQ site, and found this article indicating some lost data. I saw the phrase upgrade to new platform and knew something was up.
I found some other support articles, and was able to figure out the new server name, new database name, and new username they gave us without letting us know anything was changing. Unfortunately, it looks like the last 2 months worth of entries are gone, or at least “out of sync” according to the article reference above.
Stay tuned, but at least we’re back. Needless to say, we’ll be looking at alternative hosting solutions very soon.
