New Host and Other Fun Stuff

March 10, 2004

After months of search­ing for a new host for kartooner.com, we’ve finally found our golden goose. It’s a host­ing ser­vice called Dreamhost.

Here’s the game­plan; I man­aged to export all of my entries from Mov­able Type and com­pletely re-install MT from the ground up. I love the fact that Dreamhost essen­tially sup­ports sev­eral Perl mod­ules that I haven’t had access to pre­vi­ously. This is excit­ing news con­sid­er­ing I will be able to do new things with this site design.

Which brings me to a rather somber note, the fact that I’ve stripped the site of its pre­vi­ous design includ­ing miss­ing images which are cur­rently stored on a local drive and will be uploaded soon. In the mean time it will be using a whipped up tem­plate (which I’ll get around to in a bit) and even­tu­ally will tran­si­tion into the new design.

For now, I’m tired and going to bed soon. Mov­ing servers takes a lot out of a person.

Cool! I’m on Dreamhost too. They did a one-of-a-kind sale last year where I got the “Strictly Busi­ness” plan for like $9 a month. Really. Best host I’ve been to so far. It took me a lot of time and effort to put all things back together though. I know what it is like.

I agree your site looks blah right now (no offense), but, think about it as a clean slate, the golden chance to do things right. Often I pre­fer to start from scratch rather than fix bugs when­ever pos­si­ble. Seems like we have had sim­i­lar paths with our sites…
