Current Events
We ran into some “stormy weather” in February and March – one of our hosting suppliers had a problem with Trojans in the system, and we went through all sorts of shenanigans to try to clean up the damage and reduce the potential that it happens again. They said that it came from “break ins” on one or more of our sites, but we never saw any evidence of actual entry into any of our systems. In addition to that, on the same host, we have “issues” with the automatic upgrade from a lower version of WordPress to version 2.9.2. The problem only seems to exist on this particular host (we use five different ones), and we have not found a solution, other than not to make the upgrade. We’re hoping that the WordPress 3.0 upgrade will cure the problem. The only other solution we can see is to move the blogs to another server, and that involves a lot of work!
In other matters, we have re-established the original web-hosting.jimmycraig.biz sub-domain as http://webhostingbyjimmycraig.com so that it can stand alone. It is referenced more than once in Webmaster Refources and Info, which is still being re-established from the remaining files of the original http://webmaster-resources.info. We also have started moving the Bulgaria Realtor blog from the WordPress 2.5.1 blog.good2004.biz to the main directory at Good 2004 dot biz. This should allow us to improve the rankings of the Google PR 3 site and the blog together. A sub-domain generally will not be ranked by Google. But, it is possible: for example, maps.google.com has a PageRank of 9 and translate.google.com has a PageRank of 8.
The relocation of I Don’t Want To Get Old dot com continues, but the WP 2.9.2 upgrade problems struck here, and progress is much slower than we would have liked.
There is also a new blog called Who Is Jimmy Craig dot com which was created to centralise most of the biographical information about Yours Truely.
That’s about it for now. Hope to see you again soon!

But I have to say that the weather here in central Italy is much less unpleasant than our partner Sue’s weather in northern Ontario! And that will also be the case when we finally get back to Switzerland; even though we’re in the Alps there, we’re not that high up.
