My website is down. Brinkster launched a great new site with new pricing structure. Somehow my files got lost in the mix. Not just my little website but a great big one I was working on for AMNH. I had been having trouble with Brinkster for a while – there were ads on my supposedly ad-free site. Now there are no ads, but no files either. It’ll be a pain to repost these files, so I’m thinking about dropping the account. I was ready to move it to AMNH anyway & was planning to find a host that supports MovableType. Of course that was until I heard about the new MT pricing structure. Now I’m wondering if Blogger is where I belong.

So, just now I finished up with the support people via LivePerson. Of course they are not aware of why the files are gone. Did I delete them by accident, they wonder? Six hundred files in several different folders? Not likely. They don’t appear to have any record of what happened regarding my previous problems with ads on the site or whether the person who fixed that problem had something to do with the missing files. So, I am mad. I have a backup of some of the files, but I probably lost some of the Vietnam expedition pictures that I had cleaned up. I’ll have to go to the museum to see if they are there, or perhaps they are still in Outlook. Sigh.
So if you want me today, I’ll be hovering over my WS-FTP console.
