We've moved to a new host. The domain name should take a few days to transfer over, and the permalinks all refer to the IP address. But in a few days we should be back to normal.
This new host (Bluehost.com) provides 4 GB of space, which was the main impetus for changing. I've been testing it all week, and it appears to be just as fast, especially with the rebuilds and SQL access. I can now do a full export of MT, something I could not do at the old site.
Comments and feedback are still be emailed to the old host, and should transfer as the domain propagates. That means that I might miss a few emails if they get misrouted. I'll do what I can to stay on top of it, but if you send me something during the transition and I don't respond, that's why.
Also, there may be some issues with your site cookie, but those should clear up when the transfer is complete. And the archives were not rebuilt very far back. Recent archives (June and July) should be okay, but older pages may link back to the old host. I'll rebuild everything once the domain transfer is complete.
UPDATE: The domain name seems to have propagated (for me any way). I don't have any trouble accessing the site via ravnwood.com, .net, .org, or .info. I presume that most of you can use ravnwood.com now too. But there may still be far reaches of the globe (like Australia), that are still pointing to the old host. I'll probably switch it all back to ravnwood.com on Sunday night or Monday.
Also, I have no intention to change the look of the site. Just the host.
Test comment.

Does that mean this is a parallel universe?

Posted by: Ravenwood at July 8, 2005 4:44 PMSo is this the Evil Universe, or the Good Universe? Remember the old Star Trek episode? LOL

Latest fad diet? New wardrobe? Radical hairstyle change?
Don't go all Stuart Smalley on us now Steve!
