pardon our dust

Well, thanks to the fact that my ISP was a little miffed at all the extra space I was taking up on their server (outdated people think 20MB is enough for a website! sheesh! what do they think this is, 1998?) and started charging me $10 extra per month because of it, I have spent the bulk of this afternoon setting up shop at LivingDot. People, LivingDot ROCKS, and I'm not just saying that because they imported all my old posts from Blogger FOR FREE and everything they do is SO LIGHTNING-FAST and they are so helpful and friendly. Well, or maybe I am. Anyway. I heart LivingDot so far, even though I keep accidentally typing LivingDog and having to fix it.

What I don't heart is the way Internet Explorer, unlike *the-cough-cough-far-superior-cough* Firefox, can take a stray quotation mark in your style sheet and turn it into an hour of hair-pulling, mouth-breathing, headache-inducing stress. THANK YOU IE. Cause I was, you know, a little cocky and relaxed and overconfident there for a while.

Anyway. I am still working out a few bits and pieces here and there -- like, for instance, I need to get links and little introductory pictures put up in the sidebar, and a link to the photo blog, which has, by the way, also moved. That's particularly fun because this server is case-sensitive and my old one wasn't, so if I'm calling up clover.jpg I had darn well better have a file called clover.jpg and not, heaven forbid, clover.JPG on hand for your handy dandy little browser to find, or you'll just see a little white box with a red x in it, and there's nothing artistic about that at ALL.

I was wondering how long your ISP was going to let all your beautiful photos go! Glad you found a great new place!

I have just seen your knew site for the first time and it looks wonderful...I was momentarily confused when it first came up.
