Summertime Wets – August 2010

Summertime Wets!

What does that mean, “summertime wets”? Well, I guess that’s my way of complaining about the weather recently! Up until last weekend, we had had only two days without rain in four weeks (but at least they were both Saturdays)! Then we had two days of sun, but today, rain again.

I guess I shouldn’t complain too much – after all, it didn’t rain all day all of those days (although some of them, yes it did!). But if it had rained all day all those days, Switzerland would be on the way down the Rhine to the North Sea or the Rhone to the Mediterranean or the Engadine via the Inn and the Danube to the Black Sea or the Ticino via the Po to the Adriatic (depending on where in Switzerland you happen to be). In any case, we’re not the only ones with rain problems in the world – in India and Pakistan and northern central Europe (Poland and eastern Germany) they have (way) too much, and in Russia with all their brush/forest fires, not enough (none to be precise).

Well – enough about weather. We have a few new websites, and we have dropped some as well:

New sites:

  • STARWIND is a contract site about the STARWIND brand wind turbines in the MegaWatt class, and it belongs to the STARWIND AG here in Switzerland
  • Also new is the long-named Cure Infertility and Get Pregnant Naturally for the poor women who are having problems conceiving a baby. This is a JV website on Sue and Craig Websites

Sites that we have dropped for various reasons include

  • MophieBlog.com
  • BuyingMophie.com
  • HypnoticBeachApts.com
  • HypnotikBeachApts.com
  • HypnotiqueBeachApts.com
  • and a few others

We will continue to weed out non-productive websites in the coming months, mostly as their domain name renewals come due.

We are in the process of updating all our WordPress blogs to version 3.0.1. The improvements that came with version 3.0 resolved a number of technical problems we had with various hosting operations, and that is still the case with 3.0.1. Thanks guys!

I guess that’s all for now. Thanks for looking in!

Spring Is Getting Here – April 2010

Spring Is Getting Here – April 2010

Hello everybody,

We’ve been inundated with problems and issues and – as one of my business administration professors used to say – “challenges and opportunities!” But we’re slowly digging out of all the mess. And, after all, it IS spring!

We have taken this opportunity to redo the Websites part of the site to reflect more accurately just where we are. If you take a look there, you will see the number of websites we have that are off line – it’s more than what we have online! We also updated the WordPress theme – same theme (“This Just In”) but a newer version and new graphics as well.

But what’s going on here is just one part of the bigger picture, and we like big pictures, right? Yup!

There are a lot of things underway, and the surprising thing is that many of them are combining solutions to the old problems with answering the challenges of the new ones. That’s called taking advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

We also have some brand new websites:

  • Who Is Jimmy Craig – an autobiography,
  • Web Hosting By Jimmy Craig, a php site that has a current listing of what we think are the best web hosting offers around, plus – eventually – also reseller web hosting,
  • The Ruppin Family, a history of the Ruppin Family around the world, plus a section on genealogy
  • and Blogging 1oh1, a new blog about blogging under a pen name.

Well, I guess I should get back to work

Thanks for looking in!

Current Events – March 2010

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!

A New Blog

A New Blog

Hi there!

We have a new WordPress blog online (for a few weeks now). It’s called Mophie Blog, and if you don’t know what a “mophie” is, take a look at this post: What Is A Mophie And Why Do I Want One?

It’s been put up in WordPress 2.8.4 – the newest release, and the theme is a single-column job which makes it look a little different from many fancier themes.

If if looks a little unusual, that’s also because it’s designed to bring in income, according to a methodology used by (and taught by) Ben Shaffer. Please contact me (jimmy@craigspage.info) if you might be interested in learning this, because he doesn’t give his (live) eight-week course on a continuous schedule.

Ciao for now!

Craig

Talk About Busy!

Talk About Busy!

Hi there!

The gang down at Green Home MegaStore and Sue and Craig Websites has been really busy the past few weeks! As you read in “New Websites“, they put up five new online stores at the beginning of the month. Now they’ve gone and done themselves one better – they just finished putting twelve (yes, that’s 12) websites online this past weekend.

Here’s the list:

Technically, these are all the same type of site – a dynamic php design with rotating home pages. From the reader’s point of view, they are all informational or content sites, and they all fall in the general “health” category. They were put up at this time (and there are a few more to follow) to complement “I Don’t Want To Get OLD!“, which has now been published.

You are invited to come by and take a look at all these sites – they represent a lot of hard work!

Ciao for now!

Craig
