After what feels like and endless amount of effort, I’ve finally migrated my web site to a new host. The site had outgrown its old host, and the hosting company was absolutely terrible with their costumer service and trying guide me to an upgraded tier of hosting, so it was time to move on.
Ideally, everything would appear and function as it did before. But I was in the middle of doing some upgrades to various parts of the site and some things have gotten out of sync, so if you click around you may find the occasional broken link or missing image. I hope to rectify this soon.
The major area of concern right now it this blog. You may notice the its styling has changed. Not that it was particularly beautiful before, but at least it matched the rest of the site. I was able to migrate the blog content, but it had been using a customized version of a very old theme and I was not able to migrate that. So I picked something in the ballpark, and will have to do some new customization it. Plus whatever widgets and config setting need to be brought up to date. Then it’s reviewing all the old posts to make sure the links and media are correct there. Hope it doesn’t take too long.
I’ve also begun putting together foto galleries for 2023, as is my habit in late winter. 2023 was a huge year for travel, with three major airplane trips and lots of other stuff. I’m halfway thru the year, up to our big trip to Italy last July, which will be a bunch of galleries by itself. So watch this space for updates coming soon.
Meanwhile, it seems winter is over by spring has not yet begun. We got one more ski trip in the last weekend of February, but conditions were not great and the mountain was crowded with kids on winter break skiing in all random directions. One cut me off at the bottom of a run and I had to swerve to avoid running him over, and ended up falling. Ugh. After that the weather turned warm and rainy, so unless we get a major late-season snowstorm, it looks like we’ll have to wait for it to turn nice enough to start biking and doing things outside.
