(no subject)
I was kind of sick most of this week with the starts of a cold so as soon as I got home each day from work I ate, took nyquil, and went to bed. I proably slept at least 14 hours a day but I do feel better except for a nagging headache. I spent last weekend and this one fiddling around with various website and writting stuff. The Hawks is up now so all that is left is The Escort, Black Heaven, Forbidden Desires, and Seduction of a Pet. I want to do a custom 404 page as well then I set the site to direct to the WP site instead of the old one, not that I'll have any vistors :P It been years since it was active.
I also looked into perhaps changing web hosts. Start logic seems to be very slow loading and the CS isn't very fast although I haven't really had much need for it. I looked at some review of the host and everywhere I go they seem to be bad now. What also concerns me is the up time seems to be bad. They use to be a good web host but I also noticed a few years ago my bill went from around $50 to $110 a year without any warning. They switch my plans when they restructured I think. I didn't really pay to much attention at the time but I am paying quite a bit so I would like to know the site will at least be up all the time even if it isn't high traffic. Still it is a pain in the ass to switch web host so I'm testing it out there a site that check to make sure you site is up and keeps track of when it is down. If the results are bad I'll go through the hassle of switching.
I've stopped uploading my sub files to the server since if I change web hosts I would have to reup them again. I decided since I have unlimited storage it would be good to upload them to my hosting server as a backup. I thought about using a backup service but why pay that added cost when I have a place to store the stuff already. Also if someone does request one of my old sub files because they have been deleted everywhere else I can give them a link to download then change the file name a few days later to keep them from hotlinking. Although I would probably be very careful about doing it very often, or with who.
I also finally I think have the Table of Contents right on converting my completed stories to ebooks. It took me a while to get it right but now I can offer the stories of easy download to e-reader or offline reading. I still have to test a few things but hopefully by the time I open the WP site I'll have all the completed stories up for download in most of the various file formats. Gods I LOVE Calibre :)
