The morning yesterday was lost to getting the spare wheel fitted in readiness for a trip to Kwik Fit early next week to buy a replacement for the punctured one. ”You must keep your speed below 50 mph,” the guy from the AA said. As if that would be a problem to me.
Then, when I’d lunched, napped, and driven into Neath (not going over 50 mph) to buy wine, I settled down to resolve the question of which hosting service I should go for to hold the ‘collected writings’. I settled on Just Host and used a chunk of my birthday money to acquire a three year no-limits web hosting deal at £2.78 a month. The package includes a ‘free’ domain registration, so I opted for <http://www.oldgreypoet.co.uk>.
I shall keep the blog and the writings separate, so the new URL is for writings only.
Then I set to and created the first working draft of my front page. Fun, but it all took longer than I remember. Fortunately, my memory has held on to my html knowledge, so there’s no need to go back to school for this project.
I’m having fun.
The heatwave has broken, at least for the time being, so Dolly and I will probably spend much of the day catching up on sleep. That’s fun, too.
In fact, it’s all about fun, really.
Yes, you have a good project going there. Best of luck and good fortune with it.
A nap with Dolly sounds delicious. We had a rollicking good thunderstorm this afternoon that really cleared the air, so I’m heading out for some exercise.
Hugs, ~ Sil
We had a spectacular thunder storm here last night at 3am – at one point I went out to call Kostya and stood transfixed at the door as a demon roared the sky down. Now that was FUN!
Just going over to have a peek at t’other site now John
Thanks, Sil and Lou (take care in the storms!).
Thought I’d share my present delight — I just now finished uploading the ‘tell me’ chapbook. Lots of poems. Some of them are quite good, though I says it as oughtn’t. And I changed only one single word in one single poem. Promise!
As I wait for Wil to return with carrots for the slow cooker I thought I’d pop in and read here. Now to go check your link.
Our heat wave shows no signs off abatement and if the weather guys don’t quit talking about the ‘maybe’ rain I’m going to fire off a nasty note. lol
I’m just jazzed that you are having fun. Reading on……..
That does sound like a good deal from Just Host. I see that they use cPanel — my hosting company also uses cPanel and I’ve found it easy to use (although I must confess I rarely do anything more than check stats and such a few times a month).
I like the opening page on your poetry & stories & pictures site.
New site is very attractive. Good job with the old HTML. Heavy rain here (near Oxford) last night, but no thunder and lightning, alas.
I will be reading far into the night, dear John.
On second thought – I will take a break and return to it with fresh eyes in the early dawn hours of tomorrow.
Would somebody please take all this rain???
