Some may have noticed that the blog was a blank slate for about the last 8 hours. This occurred while I was in the process of trying to edit the blog to add the Amazon search thingie to the blog page itself (I’ve tried before to no avail). Not only did the public face of the blog vanish, but so did all the editing pages. So I couldn’t fix *anything*. I had to resort to getting the web host to revert the entire blog to a version from several hours earlier. So far it looks ok, but I don’t know if it’s actually all here. For all I know, stuff may have gotten lost or corrupted in the process. Getting them to replace the extant blog with a several-hours-older version cost money, more than I would’ve liked to have spent. So, once again… feel free to hit that “donate” button.
I actually foresaw something like this coming down the pike, so a week or two back I spent even *more* money and bought me a few more domain names. Right now there’s nothing in any of them, but my plan is to break my online enterprises apart. Right now there’s photos, docs & drawings, APR, models, and the blog that has all those plus random junk and rants. When it’s all up and running up-ship.com/blog and the Unwanted Blog will remain, and will remain the cluttered, confusing and cumbersome monstrocity, but there will be specific webpages for other stuff. The Unwanted Blog will remain where I put *everything,* but as with the “artbyearthlings” blog, the other pages will have their own blogs that have just their specific areas of interest. So there’ll be an APR blog that has all the “projects” stuff that currently goes on the Unwanted Blog, but without the cat photos, political rants, attempts at humor, etc.
I’m hoping to figure out how to copy over the Unwanted Blog to, say, the APR blog and just cut out everything that shouldn’t be there, so the APR blog will start off with about 80 pages of projects stuff right from the get-go. But as we’ve seen, my attempts at making my blogs better have not exactly been spectacularly successful.
And before I forget:

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
You may want to add that Amazon-affiliate search box to your web site side-bars. This post no longer appears on the first screen, and I had to look for it in order to place a pre-order through you….
If you know *how* to add the search box to the sidebar, I’d love to hear it. I’ve tried several times over the past year or so; the last time killed the blog and it had to be restored from a backup.
