Whoooa!

So through some sort of luck I have managed to resuscitate the site from near-death! Allow me to explain what happened.

I originally had the site name trashed-ideas.com. Well I forgot to renew the domain name and it ended up getting taken. They wanted $80 for the site name back. So instead, I went with trashed-ideas.net. I left everything alone for a while, but recently decided that I wanted to go ahead and remove the domain name trashed-ideas.com from my list. I only have two domain slots with this provider. So, they took the .com out and made .net the new main site. Well, this broke everything. All the WordPress connections were broken. It was pretty terrible since I couldn’t work on it until I got home.

As soon as I got home I started cranking, and was copy/pasting everything in a desperate hope that it would fix everything. While in the middle of all this, suddenly the site, my FTP and admin screen all lock up. It cost $10 to make the change for the .com to .net and apparently they had an old credit card. Well when it came back declined, everything shut down completely. Instead of having a busted site I had a broken site. You now know the difference between the two.

But, while I am still fixing a few things, it looks like we are back to functional. Here’s hoping there are no more scares.
