The site has been restored
After a week, I am glad to report that Humpty Dumpty has been put back together again. Alachua Voter Guide is operational and ready to tweak its mission. But before I talk about that, I want to thank the folks at my web hosting company, Hostica.com. I have been an infernal nuisance to them over the years due to the fact that I am an ambitious web designer with few web design skills. I fire off a trouble ticket whenever things are less than optimal, and this time I was having a hard time recovering and reinstalling the articles that have accumulated over the past year or so. Well, they really stepped up and recovered files that I thought had been deleted when I changed servers. Kudos to Chris and Frank at Hostica. They were life savers!
You may have noticed that I got rid of that annoying “any subscribe” widget that used to create a pop-up menu whenever your cursor got near it. If it was driving me crazy, I know it had to bother others. It is now history. If you are a big enough propeller-head to know about subscribing via all those news readers, you don’t need a special pop-up menu to do it.
I also will start using this cool post avatar that allows authors to include a photo in every post by simply choosing to do so in the write-post window.
In my next post, I will talk about some editorial changes that will be made here.
