Bye-Bye Blog-City, Hello TypePad
With this post, I am moving this blog from Blog-City to TypePad. I am also splitting the blog in two. This blog is the Solar Energy blog - which will concentrate on the installation of solar panels, etc. on our house. The main page for that blog is Smith Electric Company.
I am also creating a personal blog for my thoughts. Since I created the Solar Energy blog a month ago, I've had a hard time restraining my posts to the topic. Therefore, the new blog can be found at Mark Time.
The reason that I'm changing is Blog-City's horrendous upgrade process and their poor customer service throughout. They started the upgrade on 3/2. My blog was completely down until 3/5, and then was up and down sporadically until 3/9. They only restored the ability to upload files and photos today. Throughout, their customer service/downtime notifications ranged from vague to just plain insulting.
They've lost a customer. I'm paying TypePad 10 times more in fees, but I'm getting a much better service.

Sorry you had such a bad time, I only wished you'd stuck it out, things are really great now. If you fancy popping back for a free trial of premium just to prove it, give me a shout :)

I think I'll pass. I don't want to have to go through a third round of disruptive upgrades any time soon (last October and this March being the first two rounds).
Folks, don't believe the sunny things you hear from Blog-City management. They kept up the "everything is fine" statements throughout the one week downtime for all sites this past March. They seem to be just as bad as that Saddam Information Minister.
