I made another blog! This is it I hope. I decided that it would be easier to keep the White Lily Blog and the Business blog separate, so that way you would only have to read about the stuff you want too. So from now on I won’t be posting too many business resources here, unless they are really exciting. I will also be moving some of the old posts from here over there, so they will all be in one place. I might still leave them here too, I haven’t decided yet.

Well, I lost all the information on the forums. It looks like I’m starting over. I feel like I’ve actaully lost something. There wasn’t too much going on before-no where near as much as at the old board, so I know I’m in for another long haul. The bad thing was I had worked on the board a lot the day I decided to update and lost everything. I guess the moral of the story is “Back up everything! And save it in two different places!” I did the board backups, and I saved the config.php file, which was the file that I was told I needed in the phpbb installation guide, but that is not working. It might be that there was something wrong with that, that there was something wrong with what I did, or that I messed it up by tring to install it while the nameserver was pointing to the wrong place. Of course I didn’t know about that until it was too late. Oh well. I am going to add a few more things from the old boards in, and call it a day. I still have to work 3 hours sometime at my real job :-). I have spent way too much time working on Mystical Beauty and Etailers Mall these past two weekends.
I need to relax!

The new and improved version of Etailers Mall has arrived! After waiting a week for the web designer to contact me and answer the questions I had last week, or to update me on his progress fixing the dodosmail so it would work I decided I would do it myself. That did not work. LOL, I finally ended up using another program. I think part of the problem with dodosmail is that the web designer had templates up, and he had stuff that needed to be filled in, but I didn’t know what it was.
I changed all of the file names for SEO purposes, but I still have to do the metatags and titles. I am so tired I keep making dumb mistakes (like writing metagats instead of metatags. I also need to find more etailers to list their site - come on it’s free advertising - and I need to change the forum colors, that seagreen is just clashing with the pink and purple of the new design.
Well, I’m off to talk to my baby, then I’m going to bed!

Well, the sites are finally working, they needed to be moved to the new nameserver after comforthost updated the server. However, I am getting an error when I try to reinstall the forum, I’m not sure if it’s because the mysql database passwords were changed when they moved servers, or if there is something else going on. I emailed support to see what they had to say, but I don’t expect them to get back to me until Monday 
I heard this was a wonderful company, and the people I talked to had never had problems with them. I guess everyone goes through a rough spot, but I hope things calm down soon.

Well, I decided to upgrade the mystical beauty forums yesterday. Unfortunately comforthost is having problems, so the changes did not take. Now we are without forums-I even tried reinstalling them completely so I’d at least have something up, and redirecting them, but it didn’t work. So, we have no forums. Not only do we have no forums, I am losing all of the changes I’ve made to the site in the past week-sometimes the links work, and sometimes they don’t. I wish they’d get it all fixed soon so the sites would work! I’ve got 2-3 people that I need to add to etailersmall.com, and I’m scared to add them now, because I am scared it won’t take, or that it will mess the other stuff up. I’ve been waiting to add them to the new web design, but I haven’t heard from Eric about how to fix the contact email forms since last week, and I am not going to put the site up unless it’s fixed. I’m still trying to decide if I want to fix it myself, or just put up the contact me form like it is now, or what. I did try to use the contact forms from fantastico on mystical beauty, and they didn’t work…boo hoo. The bad thing is that I didn’t realize that there were server problems with comforthost. so I spent about 7 hours yesterday trying to get the site to work. I’d upload stuff, and it wouldn’t show up-I even used three different ftp programs-nope, it would show up on their site as being uploaded, but not on cpanel. Then I’d delete stuff, and I’d go back, and it would still be there. Or I would really delete it, and try to reinstall the forum back in that folder, and it would say that that folder already existed. so actually, if everything worked, I should have one forum at /forum, and one at /forums. The one at /forum didn’t show up last night, and the one at /forums did, this morning it’s the reverse. Arrghh!!
The bad thing is they didn’t have any work for me from yesterday around 2:30pm until around 3pm today, and that would have been a great time to work on the websites, and try to get things figured out, but….I’m not going to do it until I figure out what’s going on with the webhosts.
Oh well.
