* Uggh .. version 2.1 update - Have you updated yet?

I’ve successfully updated PapillonLvr.com/blog/ from wordpress version 1.5.2 directly to the latest version 2.1 .. There was a few issues, because the template (believe it or not) was Pre-version-2.0 compatible. As well, a lot of the plugins that I have .. were also Pre-version-2.0+ compatible. So, it’s not like I had plugins that worked in, say .. version 2.0.7 and wouldn’t work in the new version 2.1 .. it was like the plugin is just not supported anymore and never worked since version 2.0 hit the world!

Besides that .. certain of the plugins that I had that could work, needed an upgrade before the plugin can be reactivated. And, if that wasn’t enough .. most of the older plugins weren’t “template smart” like a lot of them are today .. Code had to be everywhere in the header, the footer, the sidebar, and the index. I made the mistake of fixing this first - before I realized that the template I was using (Oxymod version 0.2) didn’t work. I had to replicate on version on the newer version (Oxymod version 1.4).

I’ve written before my situation with the dual host providers .. well .. upon renewal of Host Service Provider #1 last June/July .. I was ready to walk away .. until they “pulled .. me .. back .. in” (imagine some impersonation there).

What that resulted, was half price, double space, more features (somehow) .. and a Migration to perform the upgrade.

The account went into effect immediately .. although, it wasn’t until I started USING the extra space that I actually had to pass along an email asking WTF because I wasn’t allotted the space at that time. Today the actual moving and migration took place.

My “host service provider #1″ had offered me a deal to keep me as a customer and I accepted .. for this upcoming year.

I was in the process of moving 100% from my Blacksun.ca (host service provider #1) mega account to my Ace-Host.net (host service provider #2) reseller account yesterday morning … because I feel that Blacksun.ca screwed me royally last year - in an an attempt to recoup monies made from a ‘bad deal’ one of their sales rep made with me.

What happened, is that two years ago .. I had many accounts with them and a sales rep negotiated a way to increase the size and bandwidth by consolidating all accounts into a mega-site (my PetLvr.com site). Immediately after, they fired that sales rep and squeezed more money out of me to accomodate my extra domain pointers and domain aliases that I needed. Last year, when it came time for renewal - I honestly thought that I would just pay what I did the previous year .. (the initial and the bump-up) - but instead, they held me hostage and forced me to pay almost double the price.

I am currently in negotiation and reorganization and downsize of accounts with my “host service provider #1″ … moving the majority of my accounts to my “host service provider #2″ .. this includes blogs, domains, websites, ecommerce sites, and a few other pages … not to mention a vast redudancy amount of Megabytes of data of pictures, videos and other stuff that I have been accumulating since I’ve first created a website in November 1995.

Some may have experienced some downtimes as domains, data and MySQL databases are being moved .. beginning July 16, 2006. All should be well before the end of the week. The affected domains are as follows:
