A Long Story

Posted by on Dec 21, 2007 in Blog, Uncategorized | 2 comments

Let me begin by thanking those of you who have emailed regarding the Preacher’s Pen blog. I appreciate your thoughts and questions. To make a very long story very short, all the databases containing all the information of the past three years is gone. By gone I mean gone….never to return….gone…gone to the pits of the dreadful Internet graveyard never to be awakened….just gone.

Recently I upgraded webhosting packages to gain more features using the same company, but when the package got upgraded, some incompetent person deleted the databases. When I called to ask them what was going on they told me the problem would be fixed in 24 hours….well, that was ten days ago!

Finally, they told me every database had been lost and they were unable to be recovered. So, everything is gone.

Now I fulfilled my end of the bargain, but they lost the information through one click of a button and never restoring what was supposed to be restored.

So anyway, we will be back.

After the first of the year, I plan on offering each reader more features than I have in the past, but I have lost all of those at this time. By the first of the year, I should have the majority of things back online…so please stay tuned.

For now, go ahead and sign-up for the new Preaching Journal Weekly Newsletter. Absolutely FREE! I promise you will enjoy what it will be. The first issue will be delivered to your inbox on January 1st.

I will write again soon, but in the meantime, I must work to get all this back online!

See you soon!

    Two thoughts:

    1. Can you tell us who your host is so none of us make the mistake of spending money on an organization that can’t manage to restore from a backup?

    2. In what way is your site being “Powered by Online Poker” as shown at the bottom of the page? You may want to take that particular link off.

    Robert,

    Sorry it has taken me a long time to get to your comment; things got hectic and I am still trying to put everything back online.

    Regarding the web host, the company is 1 and 1.com and believe it or not, they are one of the best out there. I cannot believe it, but I know many people using them and enjoying them. I wish the “tech” could have restored it like I asked instead of deleting it all.

    I apologize for the momentary lapse of judgment on using a particular WordPress theme. I found that theme really quick and I never noticed the ” Powered by Online Poker” link. Please accept my apologies.

    Hope to see you online soon.

    Chris
