News – August 8th, 2018 – Moved my Blog to a New Server

Trent Davis

I finally have some decent speed!

After 12+ years at ImHosted.com I moved my site to a managed server.  ImHosted has usually been pretty good but I’ve been having server overload issues more and more frequently as of late and I finally decided to change web hosts.

I’m now with CloudWays.com and so far I am really impressed.  The site is a lot faster and I’m paying the same amount.  The only downside is that they don’t do POP3 e-mail accounts.  Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this until after I had migrated my site.  This means that I now have to go through all my old e-mails and log into my various accounts and point them to my gmail account.  No big deal, just tedious.

This isn’t a major news announcement but I’m letting you know just in case some images or pages aren’t loading.  I’ve already found some articles with missing images and I’m working on updating them.

News – May 1st, 2017

You may have noticed that my blog was unavailable for the past 12 hours or so.

The reason for this is because I wanted to change the layout and structure.  Some categories have changed and I’ve added a new one: News.  In fact, you’re reading a news post now.

 

For a while I’ve wanted to share minor updates, thoughts, and project snippets with you but I’ve felt that my old blog structure didn’t cater well to that.  Instead, it did a great job at showcasing larger posts.  I enjoy writing more detailed posts but sometimes they can take several weeks to put together and I often felt rushed and wasn’t able to put the time and effort into them that I felt was needed.

 

Going forward, I will have more frequent posts that will appear in the News section.  I look forward to interacting more frequently with you all.

The blog will continue to go through some minor changes as I tweak the settings to match the new layout and structure.  I apologize for the mess.

 

As always, please feel free to leave comments below.  I’m curious to hear what you think.
