…fuelled by a grade 3 hangover and a cheese and ham sandwich I undertook the massive challenge of moving Papersurfer from one hosting company to another. Not content with the overwhelming complexity of the task at hand I also decided a new theme design would be in order. A somewhat foolish errand but overall things have unfurled very smoothly.
Having read several articles on ‘mySQL migration’ and ‘database management’ I opted for completely ignoring them and instead went for pressing the big button that said ‘EXPORT’ in my dashboard then I went to my new blog site (a one-click install of WordPress at Dreamhost) and clicked the big button that said ‘IMPORT’.
I wouldn’t attempt this sequence of actions unless you fully understand the consequences of those 2 instructions and have the appropriate sofa equipment to support you for the rest of the day that you now have spare…
I didn’t surf today. I was being very technical and boffiny…
do you think its going to hold together? looking good so far!!
Can I design a header on a word document? …. and then I’ll telephone for technical support and a brandy ……….
Ah, the joys of a migration and theme setup. Looking like you’re getting things sorted. Remember to get up and stretch at regular intervals- excessive sofa time, especially for those endowed with big brains, can be taxing to the physical body.
And I recommend a nice red wine for balance.
Ms Beat – I believe I’ve used the appropriate amount of glue and duct tape. If it starts to peel apart I have a good hideout sorted… x
Pa – you could design a header on a napkin and it would look quite special. Brandy on its way…
Ms Regular – I’ve just had a tot of ‘Old Krupnik’. A rather potent Polish honey vodka. Not sure it will help with the balance issue but it sure feels fine…
are you following me? first wordpress and now dreamhost … or is it just that great minds think alike 🙂
Hi Sophie – how’s life up North? It must be the path only true genius can take or that of the terminally deranged. It’s a close call… x
Looks loverly (but you already knew that)
Save some Polish honey vodka for me, flight is booked! 🙂

i’m not that far from you! in fact just had steve on the phone saying you were both planning to visit but you are always off surfing … but that could just be his excuse for not wanting to venture too far oop north … x
Well he does have a point – I do seem to be at the beach as we er type. I expect I shall be home in a few days though… maybe.
