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…
