It has become a necessity to redo things from the ground up. Although the BlueHost techs offshore are super nice people, they lack (through probably no fault of their own) either the ability, or the permissions, to fix problems. Recently my site went down and the complaint was that I had a forum that had […]
Change is tough. Don’t believe me? Remember, the campaign promise of “Hope & Change?” Some of the same people elated by that campaign promise are now in despair because “Change” has been “Changed” and some of those who were in despair are now expressing “Hope.”
