No brainer
February 11th, 2008
Hey guys. I sat down late last night to publish the article I had written for you this week and discovered to my dismay that due to problems with my host (don’t get me started!) that version of the Wordpress database has vanished. ARGH!!!!! Hopefully this is a temporary situation that can be resolved from either their backup or mine, but in the meantime I encourage you to browse the article index for tips about personal marketing that you may have missed.
A couple of recent comments are missing as well and I apologize to those readers. Thanks for weighing in. I did get your messages.
To the bloggers in the group - who do you use to host your site?
Update 2/13: Finally heard back from my host. They were unable to locate the version of the database they lost so I guess I’m on my own. I’ve been recommending eMax Hosting to people for years, but no more. For a little-known hosting company eMax used to offer some of the best service and support in the industry, but something really fundamental has changed over there in the last year or so, and not in a good way! The last month, in particular, has been a complete nightmare.
Look for a new article next Monday. By the way, I’m noticing that the Exercise ad campaign is going really well.
