It’s good to be back….I think
After a few sessions of snarling at MySQL and my service provider, the site is back and healthy with the latest version of WordPress and considerably more capacity. There are still a few snags - I’m not positive that the database upgrade took. My categories are a little Katty-Wumpus. No problem though […]
The Way Carbon Leaf Sees It On My Coffee

The humongous project is now gone and I’m back to normal. I’m also looking at some ways of updating the site using software (Word Press) rather than doing everything by hand. So far so good, now I just need something to say.
