Because I sure missed you guys!
In case you aren’t online much over the weekend, let me catch you up on what you missed:
- The entirety of Kitchen Stewardship was down, gone, kaput, for the entire weekend. I hope I didn’t wreck anyone’s breakfast if you were planning on making granola or something!
- The message that showed up if you tried to visit made it seem like I was some sort of delinquent on my hosting fees, or that I had crazy amounts of visitors. Neither is the case.
- There was some sort of problem on my site that was crashing the hosting company’s server and bringing other people’s sites to a grinding halt as well. Since it was my site’s fault, the company suspended my account. Then they were exceedingly helpful and took only 8 hours to respond to the first email asking, “What is going on???” and nearly a day to respond again. Phooey on HostPC.com – no more business for them!
- I’m now at Bluehost.com and very happy so far. I thought it would take a day or two to get moved over, but within hours the deed was done. *sigh of relief* I love it when things work out better than expected!
- I didn’t lose any files, posts, photos, comments, or anything. Praise God! I just got an email reminder that I’m due to make my monthly backup today…ironic…perhaps I’ll switch those to weekly backups!
- Although I can see the homepage, I can’t click on any links. We’ll see if this post is readable…!
- Thank you to everyone who tweeted condolences, emailed that my site was broken, and otherwise joined the pity party I had this weekend. It’s good be among friends!
- Since the giveaway for the Healthy Snacks to Go eBook and the freeze-dried fruit was supposed to end Sunday at midnight, I’ll give you all an extra day to hop in. The giveaway will now close at 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday, April 19. You can still get your extra early “I’m a subscriber” entry in the dehydrator giveaway, too.
- This week we’re talking parabens in personal products for the Spring Cleaning Carnival. Join Micaela of Mindful Momma, who will teach you what those are and how to avoid them.
- Thank you all for sticking around!
I was bummed to see your hosting-problems this past weekend (and I know the frustration – or used to, anyhow!). But I’m so glad you read you’ve switched to BlueHost!
I have never regretted a moment of being a customer of theirs – their CS is top-notch, and they are ALWAYS so POLITE!

Glad to have you back! I freaked out when I saw the site was down!
FYI, when I click on the link in this post for the giveaway post, it just takes me to a blank page. I can scroll down to find the post on your page, but then when I click “read more” to read the whole thing, blank page again. I don’t know if anyone else is getting that?

Glad to see you’re back up, too! I was a little worried.
And actually, I WAS looking for the original granola bar recipe. he he. 
I tried the soaked instead – yum! (I had the PDF.)

I’m glad your site is back up, a friend of mine recently went through a similar situation with another awful host. It’s crazy!
