NoraJean.Com is back up

Well eMonsterHost.com came through and my sites are back up.

Thank you Ryan!

Nothing like a short outage to remind a person to do back up.

It's not just NoraJean.com but it's also

CITY-Lists.com

Which has sections for
CITY-CraftBizAdvice
Strange-CITY
CITY-Computers
CITY-Adornment
CITY-o-Clay

to name a few

and my "not ready for prime time" e-commerce section...

NoraJean-Designs.com

Mind you the sections that use FrontPage themes, like CITY-Computers and the e-commerce section are seen better using IE. FireFox doesn't play well with Windows stuff, so it seems.

I'm so happy I can just dance about. There's nothing more horrid than having my sites down. Some people work jobs and make money and buy a house and fill it full of stuff. My "house" is my website, it's what I've put time and energy into over the years, and when it's down it's like getting locked out of my crib.

I was glad my back ups were just done and if I had to rebuild, for some awful reason, I wouldn't have had a huge job to do. Now I have those couple of days I did add stuff to my website all backed up and I'm a happy gal.

WebHost Problems Again

I can't seem to win for losing with webhosts. eMonsterHost.com is hosting norajean.com and it's not coming up, again. I went to the host's website and that's not coming up either. I sent an email to the support team and the owner and haven't gotten a reply yet.

I know that they are located in snow country and it's been a harsh winter for them. Could be that lines are down. Could be the recession got to them and they are out of business. Could be a number of things and I have no idea what it could be without a reply to my email to them.

It is frustrating because I'm working on building an e-commerce section to my website, got a new domain for it and everything. Good thing I didn't have the doors open and have customers to serve because that would have done more damage to me. This way it's people who are looking for free tutorials who are being inconvenienced.

So I'm venting here because my main blogs are on my website, which was working last night when I mentioned that Bob Wilkins of "Creature Features" died. What ever happened to my website happened between midnight last night and 1pm today.

Mercury turns retrograde Jan. 11th, and my communication problems star two days early.

Rats.
