Edit @ 2:08PM: I’ve upgraded Wordpress to the latest version, yay. Most of the content is uploaded, but still have some visitor things to upload (such as screencaps) so bare with me. Also uploaded all hostees files.
I feel like I haven’t blogged in forever, which I guess it has been almost a month now. Granted, it wasn’t by choice! I’ve been having problems with Comcast “blocking out” all of my sites (since their on the same server now), for some reason when I’d upload files through an ftp program I’d be unable to access the websites. I’d get a simple “server can not be found” error. Usually this lasted a week and I could view everything again, but oh no not this time! I tried moving Blissful to my reseller account and it crapped out on me, so not only couldn’t I access Blissful I couldn’t access Despair.nu either and another domain I own. This lasted weeks, of course. I told someone in the office of the apartment complex that I live in at about the problems I was having and they said they emailed Comcast but nothing happened. I have received some tips from members at Snark, so hopefully I can test those theories out.
The only reason I can access the sites now is because I am at home (yay) came home for Mother’s Day, two friend’s birthdays, my mother’s birthday, AND my sister’s birthday. And it will also be very nice not to work. But of course uploading all of my files for Blissful didn’t go so well, because lets face it … easy is so boring! Complications ftw. Here’s the gist of what happened.
- Uploaded all files and received “Database connection error”, googled for a while and even checked Wordpress.org turns out I am an idiot and forgot to create the username for the databases I transfered over.
- The install files showed up, basically wanted me to install wordpress again … even though I had it. Had to reupload the database and finally fixed that.
- Finally everything seemed to be working, but oh wait when you click on a post or a page a 404 error appears. Turns out it had to do with the permalinks. So I changed those back to the default ones and everything worked, but I didn’t want it to be that way. In the end I had to edit the .htaccess file and now everything works.
Took me over an hour to do all of this, haha. Next up ….. uploading all of my hostees’ files and creating their usernames for their databases, oh what fun. Speaking of which I am cleaning out hostees at some point over the summer, so if you’re site died way before the move and you do not email me back you’ll be deleted. But on the bright side I can host domains.
In other news, I found out weeks ago my sister is having A BOY. Yay. Her and her husband have decided on the name Aidan Scott, so cute. I can’t wait until September, I’ll be an aunt!
Welcome to Artsie.me, a personal blog owned by a 26 year-old graphic design graduate named 
Aidan is a lovely name!
I hate when sites screw up, but when they do it gives us so many more opportunities to learn and share the knowledge. The only reason I even learned how to create wordpress themes was because of an issue I had with the default one. So I must agree complications ftw!
Welcome back!! I love your adorable layout, oh if only I had layout skills like yours. Such a pity that I do not have Photoshop.
Do you want me to give you some free advertising on my blog to let everyone know that you’re back? Because I absolutely love your site. 
Welcome back
Glad you got everything working again 
Welcome back and I’m glad everything got sorted out!
Congratulations to your sister, Aiden Scott’s a lovely name.
My mother’s birthday is today too
Congratulations on the wonderful news about the little boy on the way, and happy birthday to your mum!
Congrats to your sister!
FYI I’m alive (and constantly bugging you about hosting issues haha, sorry about that). I’m contemplating a move to my own domain so I can consolidate everything… but that’s still in the distant future =D.
Welcome back! And congrats to your sister! I love the name Aiden for boys.
I had a lot of problems with my wordpress when I upgraded it.I also had it crash on me before that.I am glad you got almost all of your site done:) oh my cousins son is named aiden also.It is a cute name.
Hey hun, congrats on the upcoming birth of your nephew!
I hope you get all your issues with Comcast worked out. I had them for quite awhile and after having several problems that they couldn’t seem to get worked out regarding my router issues, I switched. I know some people don’t have the option of switching, which sucks. Anyways, I do hope you will be able to access your sites soon.
Well glad to hear you’ve sort of got stuff sorted out! Hopefully you can get it all cleared up soon. It’s such a pain if you’re paying for a service (the internet) and you can’t use it.
Congrats to your sister! That’s a beautiful name.
Um wow, that’s so weird and annoying! I’ve never had my ISP block me from my sites, and frankly I don’t know what I would do if that happened. Well, aside from switching providers. I hope you get it fixed soon.
I’ve had my ISP block me from my website…two months later, it unblocked it. I’m glad you got nearly everything back up. I probably would’ve procrastinated.
Love the name! I’m sure he’ll be really cute!
Sorry to hear that you have been having trouble with Comcast.
Awww, that name is cute.
Ah the joys of setting up a site. I haven’t even had the patience to learn wordpress at this point. I get bored easily lol. But the site looks good!! I love penguins!! And congrats to your sister. I love the name Aidan! Hope your internet woes are over soon!
Glad everything is up and running again smoothly.
