This is my first post on WordPress.com. I have moved my website from my previous host, Powweb.com. I had been with Powweb for many years and up until now I haven’t had many issues at all. But their hosting price, for my very simple, small website, recently tripled in price, and with no warning I was charged for another year at triple the price, with no prior notification. I was pretty shocked when I saw the charge, and immediately contacted them.

Discounts were offered and refused, and it took a few attempts, but I finally got the charge reversed and my site cancelled with them. I was able to make a quick export of my website, so I didn’t lose any of my old posts, fortunately. So here it is. Some of the links and functionality might be broken, but I’ll fix every issue I find. And as usual, I’ll try to post as often as I can.

Over 813 posts since January of 2001. That’s over 23 years of history. I only wish it included all of my Facebook posts as well. But, as I’ve always figured, Facebook will eventually go away, like everything else has, but I’ve tried to keep my own website intact through the evolution of the internet and its vast changes. Maybe this site will even outlast me. That should be easily accomplished, since I’ve already paid for the domain itself five years in advance, and I just got an additional year tacked onto it just for moving to WordPress. As long as someone can swing the $48/year ($4.00 per month), this thing will sit here, waiting for another year’s tens of users to stop by and read my ramblings.

Enjoy!
