A Little Good News to Begin 2012

Since my daughter is home I decided to have her look at myhousehistory.net to see if she could determine why I am unable to sign into the website, and therefore unable to post any updates. She simply had me go to my axspace.com account and log in through it. And it worked! In the past I had always logged in directly from the myhousehistory.net home page. For whatever reason that no longer works, but that is fine with me as long as I can ultimately get where I need to be. Now, I'm sitting here wondering why the brainiacs at axspace and the other consultant I have been working with did not make that suggestion. Man, this stuff frustrates me! I wish I knew a whole lot more about it so I didn't have to rely on anyone else.

I still need to move the domain name and the website hosting to another company, and unfortunately my daughter does not know how to do that. I'm not sure who I will hire to take care of this since I don't really have much faith in the people I have dealt with in the past. It is probably not that they are incapable of doing the job, but their response time is pretty poor. I guess I'll ask around and see if anyone has a company they can recommend.

The Broken Record

Catch-22...not a good position to be in. My web host now is blaming Yahoo, which is where I purchased the domain name for myhousehistory.net, for the fact that I cannot log onto the site. This would not be a huge deal except that Yahoo does not show a record of my account, despite the fact that I have an April 2011 paid receipt from them for the domain name. Yahoo does not list a phone number for help, instead preferring to deal with issues via their online chat. But they won't chat with you if you do not have an account. Thus the trick bag I now find myself in. I am truly beyond frustrated by all this. My next step at this point is to move the whole account, domain name and web hosting, to a new company. I am hopeful that since my website is all backed up at WordPress this will not be too big of an issue. I just have to find someone to take care of it for me, because I truly do not have a clue. Who ya gonna call? Webusters?
