An update on efforts to get this site working fully again:
The home page appears to work, but…
I discovered today that the hosting company changed something in the configuration that renders all other pages on the site inaccessible. I have a helpdesk request out to them. :-(
I have to completely rebuild my gallery from scratch. :-(
I have created the gallery, but it will take me some time to put all of the photos from the past year back into it. :-(
I continue to try to be polite and not publicly use the words that I’m thinking as I deal with this mess, and I continue to refrain from mentioning who my hosting company is.
Due to complex (to me, at least) web hosting issues this site has been offline for a few days. While the main site is currently back up, problems remain. I’m hopeful that they will be resolved soon, but for now the Gallery portion of the site is not available.
RSS feed subscribers may have just seen a series of posts including the same photo. An explanation is in order. I’m experimenting with a new way to post and host new photographs, and I had to make several posts to work out some formatting issues. Thanks for your understanding.
I’ve shared a post or two over the past couple of days about some site issues that I’ve been dealing with. For example, earlier I posted about the disappearance of images from the RSS feed – unfortunate, but it has to happen for a while until I work out some server load issues.
I’ve made a few other changes today. Some of them are “under the hood” and are not directly visible -some caching features may speed up the site a bit, for example. Others are visible – for example, I have removed the “tab bar” from the top of the page and replaced it with simple links in the sidebar. The gallery has also been changed a bit, mostly by decreasing the size of thumbnails and the number of images that appear on each page. And there are more to come: soon the full-size versions of posted photographs will be reduced slightly and the fancy script that opens them on top of the page may go away.
Thanks for your understanding as I make these changes.
