What an anti-climax! I got very little sleep Monday night waiting for my RedRival site to poof. Tuesday morning comes and it's still there.
Apparently the transition isn't going to be like turning off a light switch. I have no idea what is involved in setting up a new web host. In any event, my site is still active at RedRival until the middle of the month.
So I went back and updated my index.html page. Still I left all the forwards on the other pages for two reasons:
- The FTP is not set up and I'm not going to upload those files one at a time.
- RedRival is still going defunct and I want people to come to pamelajoy.com.
While eating lunch the other day, Keith suggested that I get a domain name with Alaska in it. Off the top of his head, he came up with "Alaskapam". While waiting for pamelajoy.com to go live on RivalPro, I made the plunge and bought it. The best plus of it is the e-mail addresses that come with it. I didn't get a webhost because I want RivalPro to host the site. While I'm waiting, the name will forward to the GeoCities site.
I really shouldn't be spending all this money on the Net because this is the month I need to refill my prescriptions. Since the health insurance instituted the co-pay, I need to come up with $303.09 before the end of the month plus the money for the doctor's visit to get the prescriptions renewed.
Keith is going to need a crown on the tooth he broke. No telling what that will cost. This is depressing.
Here I sit on pins and needles wondering what is going to happen tonight or tomorrow with my RedRival website.
The support forums are fabulous. I wish I'd discovered this resource sooner. I definitely will use their help now. In the beginning when I read the forums, I was overwhelmed with all the new information. Now that I have a little pagemaking experience, the discussions make sense to me.
Over the weekend, we had the group up from Whitehorse for two days. We assembled at the high school. A lot of friends came up from Anchorage, too. I didn't get to do as much as I'd like because I was feeling poorly.
On the way home yesterday, Keith was eating a Mentos and broke a tooth. He took off work today and got it fixed. I need to go to the dentist, too. So who do I call first, the dentist or the doctor?
