I am currently doing maintenance on the blog: I have disabled some of the previous functionality by removing nearly all the plugins. Hopefully this will solve the problems and I can rebuild the site with safer plugins. Please be patient during the process.
Please Note: Authors may of course continue to post new posts. Commenters can comment as usual (with no ability to edit your comments or add rich text formatting unless you know html). Carry on as normal. The site will just look rather bloggish for the next few hours.
@Em…
Well, if you won’t consider those options, then I guess you are stuck with what you are stuck with. I know about small communities and limited services. When I got here, there was one choice, (Telecom – XTRA) and it was dial up. It took a lot of personal bugging of the network guys just to get the most primitive of broad band put in.
Their email service was crap, but they finally abandoned their own hosting and went with Yahoo. I quickly moved to their yahoo email online. I have never looked back. My wife remains on Hotmail, personal choice, and wouldn’t know how to use Outlook if her life depended on it. Friends I have here in this rural community are constantly complaining about the same things without some of the new IP providers they have, like “Slingshot” or “KOL”, and when they finally try a web based system, the cries go away.
So that is offered up for what it is worth. I am with @usxcanada.. Give yourself some time to “rethink this” 🙂
