Out of Town until May 3rd

I am leaving for the Southern Caribbean but I will still be available via email. If you have a support question, please include your domain and login information as well as explicit details of the problem so that I can duplicate it. If you are clear enough, I can most likely fix it before I get back to you.

SU Demos: I have already done the May widgets and specials pages however you are not supposed to put this information on your site until May 1st (company policy). So Members Login on May 1st to update your sites.

I have set a post to publish on May 1st (automatically) that will have two sidebar widgets (both Summer Mini & May Scrap Specials) for Americans and Canadians. I have had no luck with 'future' publish features but I'll also remember to force it to publish if it doesn't (when I remember on May 1st!).

Updates for my 'managed' hosting customers will occur on May 1st as always thanks to my trusty assistant Jen.

Planned Service Interruption

Tomorrow morning, at approximately 4am EST, the server will be down for about 15 minutes to swap out the backup server that has been experiencing issues this week. Again the issue has been with the ‘backup’ disk, not the main server your site is hosted on.

FYI, the last successful ‘daily backup’ of your site was Thursday at 1 am EST, so if you are planning big changes on your site (and then regret them), the last backup we can restore is the Thursday at 1am.

Of course you can make a backup of your site at any time through your control panel (see a short video here). I suggest that you only keep one on the server at a time or you will fill up your disk space. You can download the backups to your hard drive if you want multiple copies.

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me.

WordPress 2.5 is coming!

http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/25-sneak-peek/

How exciting! Big changes are on the way for WordPress! They are giving it cooler menus and more add ins…

After it becomes available, it may take a few weeks for Fantastico to catch up and have it available for auto-upgrades, which is okay, it will give the ‘powers that be’ to fix any bugs that show up in the first weeks. I generally wait at least a month to upgrade to the next version anyway!
