… shame on me.
I’ve been blogging for a while now. I started out in earnest back in March of 2007 at eleven-bee.xanga.com, and then in January of 2009, I registered my own domain name, and began using RapidWeaver to build my blog. RapidWeaver boasts on its website that it “is ideal for anyone looking to create a beautiful website. Whether it’s your first or five-hundreth [sic] website, RapidWeaver has all the tools you need to quickly create pages you’ll be proud of.” The good people at RapidWeaver failed to mention that this software is also great for those bloggers who hope that all entries from their blog will be mysteriously deleted at random times, without any warning whatsoever. For those people, RapidWeaver is perfect.
All was going well until May of this year when I realized that everything I had previously written had been deleted. Poof: gone. I jumped onto the RapidWeaver community online and discovered that there were numerous threads describing exactly this phenomenon. The response from the RapidWeaver people was decidedly understated. It was the equivalant of a cyber-shrug. “Sorry?“, they seamed to be saying.
So what did I do? I picked myself up, brushed myself off, and then kept on blogging using RapidWeaver, until… August 3rd when (insert record scratch sound here) my blog disappeared again. That’s when I came running here to WordPress. Same domain name, different website, and so far, so good. (Knock on big wood.)
WordPress allows me to track things like the number of visitors that come to see what’s new each day, and also the words that people search my site with. And so, for those of you searching for “trilogy financial services,” “san francisco mexican bus,” and “preparation h feels good on the whole,” (quite an eclectic selection of blog topics, don’t you think?) I’m working on restoring things on the old site, which I am now hosting, for archival purposes only, here.
But from here on, I’m looking forward to a more predictable blogging experience at WordPress. And in the meanwhile, here’s a little something for RapidWeaver:
