HOLY SMOKES!!
Wow, what a day Nicole and I have had! This forced server change literally took up the entire day, since 8am this morning. Its now 12:30am and we are finally shutting down with the site mostly functional. The Guild site is tomorrow’s challenge. As many folks predicted, we couldn’t count on GoDaddy when we needed them most. So it was time for a change in service providers. Thank you to everyone for their recommendations. The company we felt would give us the best service was MediaTemple. Within an hour, MediaTemple helped us get this site back up and running without a hitch (at Midnight on a Friday).
So I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but at least the dust is clearing and things are getting back in order. Thanks everyone for your patience. Time to crash!

Growing Pains
No, not THAT Growing Pains! I’m talking about our website! Many of you probably noticed the outage yesterday. As it turns out, our traffic is proving to be too much for our shared server. Between all the new visitors and the Guild, things are growing far beyond our expectations. So I am immediately migrating over to a new server that will allow for our current and future growth. Fortunately, there shouldn’t be much in the way of an interruption on the site (unless traffic spikes again). Unfortunately, I have a lot of work ahead of me. So wish me luck. And just remember, “As long as we got each other, we got the world spinning right in our hands…..”
