Please be patient…
I’ve received requests to make some changes to my blog and website. There are several features that can’t be added using my current web hosting. During the next few days you may have some problems accessing my website and blog. My old blog posts may also reappear on your reader as new. This is because I am shifting hosting from Microsoft to Linux. This is being done because:
- There are several things I want to do with my site and blog to add features you have requested. I can’t implements several features with the Microsoft hosting. Most of this is due to a lack of support for several scripting languages.
- It will allow me to use Wordpress which is a more capable Blog platform than Blogger. This should allow me to better integrate the website and blog providing you a more seamless experience.
- I use XSitePro for 90% of my web development activities. They are coming out with a new version in a week or so. I will be able to use more of the features with a Linux platform.
Bottom line is that this should improve the quality of my blog and website.

You should consider switching to self-hosted wordpress. The domain name will cost you about $10 and hosting another $5 per month.
@Pinyo-Hey, thanks for jumping into my blog! Your advice about Wordpress is good, and is part of the reason I’m making the changes. My old hosting was a Microsoft plan with MS SQL. Wordpress doesn’t support MS SQL so Blogger it was!
I shifted to a Linux hosting plan to allow for several things including Wordpress. Wordpress is a much better product and will allow me to do much more. It may take a couple weeks to make the changes, but I’m pretty excited.
