A new start...
Sunday, November 28, 2010 at 8:11PM Techmoments as you know it is gone. A few months back I received a notice from Google that my site was infected with malware and Google would be blocking visits to it. Wonderful. I attempted to update my 1and1 hosted WordPress installation, thinking that would have some improved spam detection capabilities. Well, that didn't work out well at all. Automatic site updates wouldn't work and I was unable to update the back-end to MySQL 5.0 (which is now required). The icing on the cake is that I can't even export any data out of the broken wordpress installation.
So, as terrible as I feel about losing the past few years of articles, I'd rather start fresh. Most of the advice and commentary is dated anyway. Seriously, my most popular blog post was in reference to LightScribe templates. Does anyone even know what that is anymore? Does anyone care? No.
The new way of hosting and managing a personal website is SquareSpace. I can let them manage and update the engine, and I can just worry about content. Plus, there's an iPhone app too :)
Unfortunately, I can no longer afford multiple editors, so it's just me again. I hope to have more info soon...
