Editor’s Note:<\/strong> This is a repost from my last post at AmyNews.com Episode II. It really might not make any sense here as it sounds like a repeat, but I want this to be a complete set of my posts … as far as you know … so I have included it here. \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n

Things have gotten very boring here lately,<\/p>\n

And by here …<\/p>\n

I mean AmyNews.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hardly ever post anymore.<\/p>\n

In fact,<\/p>\n

More than one person has advised me to just shut things down,<\/p>\n

Call it a day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But as I’ve said before,<\/p>\n

That’s really not me.<\/p>\n

And it’s not  like I don’t have anything to say …<\/p>\n

Share.<\/p>\n

I’ve got plenty.<\/p>\n

It’s just that,<\/p>\n

When I start a postin’ …<\/p>\n

I find myself getting distracted with some maintenance issues here,<\/p>\n

Comment spam has been killing me.<\/p>\n

And the software I use to try to control it is seriously outdated …<\/p>\n

So much so that I can’t update it unless I upgrade my site publishing software multiple versions.<\/p>\n

Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing,<\/p>\n

Because there are some fun things I want to add to my site that I can’t unless I upgrade.<\/p>\n

However …<\/p>\n

Movable Type<\/a>, which is the publishing software I use, <\/p>\n

Is far from user friendly during the installation and\/or upgrade stages …<\/p>\n

At least in my opinioooooon,<\/p>\n

And that’s all that matters … <\/p>\n

Right?<\/p>\n

So …<\/p>\n

I’ve been evaluating some other options,<\/p>\n

And have finally found one that I am going to give a whirl.<\/p>\n

It was my hope to go live with the new set this past weekend,<\/p>\n

But I’ve sort of run into some delays …<\/p>\n

All my fault of course. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As a result, <\/p>\n

I’ve decided to go live at the new place sometime this week,<\/p>\n

Maybe next,<\/p>\n

Without committing to a date.<\/p>\n

Which is so, so Amy …<\/p>\n

As I’ve got serious commitment issues.<\/p>\n

However, <\/p>\n

I have started doing the behind the scenes fun to make that happen …<\/p>\n

Namely,<\/p>\n

Moving some pointer thingies around that are associated with my AmyNews.com<\/a> domain name. <\/p>\n

Now,<\/p>\n

In theory,<\/p>\n

There really shouldn’t be any downtime.<\/p>\n

In theory.<\/p>\n

However, <\/p>\n

If things go goofy here for a bit …<\/p>\n

Please have patience and check back,<\/p>\n

Because it’s only temporary.<\/p>\n

And in a lame attempt to make up for the inconvenience,<\/p>\n

Even though the new set isn’t complete yet,<\/p>\n

Seriously, I’ve got some major decorating to do as right now I think it still looks rather cluttered,<\/p>\n

For those of you that have read this post all the way to this point,<\/p>\n

Here’s a little brain teaser that if you can figure out,<\/p>\n

Will take you to the place where I’m building the new set,<\/p>\n

And you can see the dysfunction that goes through my mind during the creative? process:<\/p>\n

I’ve set a redirect for one of the other domain names I own,<\/em><\/p>\n

Which will take you to the new set.<\/em><\/p>\n

The domain name redirect is one that if you think about it,<\/em><\/p>\n

And me,<\/em><\/p>\n

You can possibly figure out.<\/em><\/p>\n

(No, it’s not www.AmyWanKenobi.com<\/a>.  Why of course, I do own that name, but that redirect brings you right back here. I know. I’m a butt. :))<\/p>\n

Amyways,<\/p>\n

The first five viewers that can guess their way to the new set construction location and post a comment to the post for October 1, 2005 will get one of those really kewl AmyNews.com<\/a> t-shirts !<\/p>\n

How’s that for a disincentive !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Though if you’re just not into such juvenile gimmicks,<\/p>\n

Just e-mail me …<\/p>\n

I’ll shoot ya the link anyways. <\/p>\n

But you won’t get a t-shirt !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
