Hello folks

Due to some technical difficulties, and by that I mean my inability to simply convert the template on my blog, we have a new address and a new look and a loss of archived posts. Apparently, my copying of the template didn't work out the way I had hoped.

So we start anew. Please change your bookmarks and links.

This is the same address, though.

Have you "lost" all your old stuff, or are you just unsure of how to translate it over? I may be able to help, having done an inner-blogger template conversion earlier this year.

I think I've lost it.

The short version (sort of) detailing what happened is this ...

Seeing the need to update, I went ahead and did that. Everything transferred over. But I had two addresses now - one with www in front and one without - but only one web site to manage. The older version stayed with www and all of the links kept going there, despite any updates I was doing.

So the advice I got from folks in the know was to copy the entire template, which should include my archived information, and then delete the blog and proceed with a brand new blog by the same name with the same address. Copying in the information, it was relayed to me, would prevent any loss of information.

Except that didn't work. I deleted the blog, attempted to paste it and nothing popped up. It's quite possible I did something wrong seeing how I am far from an expert. Fortunately, much of my longer posts I would write in Word or something and save them, so I can probably put up a greatest hits or something ... but alas, I think much of my prose is gone.

Needless to say, I was rather bummed Tuesday when this happened. So I made a 1980s hair band CD featuring top hits from Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Poison.

For what it's worth, iTunes is selling Bon Jovi's greatest hits for something absurdly cheap like $6. I'd recommend it.
