By now you’ve noticed: I’ve redesigned. Again.
And while it only looks like a slight upgrade to you, it’s totally rebuilt from the ground on up to me: I’ve re-written the entire style sheet, re-worked the graphics, and tightened up the code.
I’ve also switched hosts: collisionbend.com is now hosted at mediatemple instead of Digital Space, where ole’ CB thrived for the last two years (well, that’s two years on April 18th — it didn’t quite make it).
I made the switch for a number of reasons: security (I was hacked three times in one day at the old server), speed, bandwidth, and the overall great feeling I had while talking and working with the folks at mediatemple. They’re great folks, and I recommend their service highly.
Not that the switch went without a hitch, either: I inadvertantly left creating my email address on the new server off my checklist, causing me to forget overlook this little glitch, and I left about 11 hours’ worth of email in the ditch.
Ooooops.
So if you sent me email between 11:00 p.m. Eastern on Thursday night and Noon today (Friday), I probably never received the email; please resend the email and accept my humblest apologies.
But that was the biggest goof-up in the whole process; no losing my entire database like I did when I upgraded WordPress the first time…
Anyway, I’m back up and running with no other issues, save for the fact that I still need to tweak my style sheet for the supporting pages. Er… I’m working on it, trust me. I still have some changes to make to the Photography and Portfolio pages because I don’t like the way I floated the images, and there are some menu issues across the board, as well.
I did all of this to make my site faster, leaner, meaner and easier to navigate. It also gives you a fresh look instead of the same-old, same-old. I hope you enjoy it.
