I was right. Project Mai Tai’s problems are caused by the fact that the domain was owned before I had it. Someone owned it until 2004, I think. Then it just lapsed, and I bought it in 2006. From archive.org, it didn’t look like the old owner did anything that would [...]

B-2 Bomber’s home page is loading really slowly lately.  None of the other pages are borking up, just that one. I looked for differences between it and the others - there aren’t any between it and, say, the category pages which use the main WordPress template, too.  I’ve gone nuts for two days now trying [...]

Is it just me, or have the last few updates of FireFox sucked?  I’m having extremely slow pageloads on a lot of sites, and I’m getting that old error message of doom about a script that’s screwing everything up, and you can hit “stop” or “continue” even though it doesn’t really make any difference.

Offline life’s been really busy for me lately, so there’s no much to report here.  Everything I talk about is still going the way it was the last time I talked about it.  I’m still recoding one of my aff sites and struggling to write regular posts.  I figure if I do at least a [...]

I was planning to get started this morning and write lots and lots of blog posts.  But no.  This is my third week trapped in “But before you do that, you should really do this” land.
The affiliate code on one of my sites is messed up.  If I don’t fix it, I can’t make sales.  [...]

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I said I’d finished tweaking themes and stuff, and now it was time to get serious about putting 3 posts a day on each of my blogs?  Well, that was before Site5 went down for 36 hours, taking my sites with them.  That prompted a major new host [...]

ShareASale has rolled out some new stats reports.  Now when you look at Day at a Glance, you can go back to previous days and see those, too.  The activity details page has some filtering options so you can check specifics.
A Merchant Timespan report lets you look at your performance with particular merchants at particular [...]

I’ve hosted several sites on a Site5 package for well over a year.  The package I originally got was pretty reasonable for the money.  The next year, I got a much better deal - all sorts of unlimited stuff! - for less money.  I knew that wasn’t a good sign.
During all this time, there were [...]
