As mentioned in an earlier post, a change last month led to the accidental deletion of my blog (and possibly the demise of Cash for Clunkers) which led to a decline in September’s statistics. Another disappointment was over 26,000 hits resulting in “Document Not Found” because of the blog articles being deleted. Some of the articles (also posted at High Maintenance) have been retrieved, but the majority are lost some place in cyberspace.
However, before complaining too much, I should be thankful that the blog is up and running again. The technicians at startlogic.com and websitegrader.com were very helpful. And I’m hoping that the changes will lead to more traffic and subsequent sales. In any event, I hope that you enjoy the information shared here at What Not. I enjoy writing each article and hope that the information written here will both educate, inform, and entertain each of you.
Coming Events in October
- The return of the bi-weekly Mystery Car!
- Volvo’s Safe+Sound 5 yrs/60k mi coverage plan continues for another month!
- The latest update regarding my 2005 XC90 extended test drive
Enjoy!
Startlogic let me down again this afternoon. For about 7-8 hours the website, blog, and email were inaccessible. Of course, startlogic apologized; but no refund for the downtime was available. That got me thinking that I should switch over to another hosting site. I think I’ve narrowed it down to westhost.com. They seem to have a better reliability record and are ranked in the top 15 by netcraft. I’m still investigating, but am fairly certain they offer the best bang for the buck.
