New Site Almost is Up – I Already Hate GoDaddy
Posted on December 28, 2007

Well the new blog site is coming up, and it was a little bit of a headache to import all the posts over. I’ll be spending the next few days rearranging things, fixing the spacing, minor coding, and adding back more widgets onto the blog. I’m wondering if I should just redirect everyone to that one now or later. I still have a few more plugins I need to install yet though, and I’ll list everything I put onto the blog so you guys can flame/advise me on what else would be good for the site.
As for why GoDaddy is giving me headaches already is from the Wordpress import feature. Apparently when I try to import from my domain it times out trying to connect to https://google.com, which was due to not having SSL or some sort of thing. So the roundabout fix was to import everything over to Wordpress.com, and then port that into MoneyNe.ws.
Also trying to find an easy way to add some 125 x 125 ad slots onto the sidebar of the new home. Any have some ideas for that one? Anyways, if you haven’t already checked out the theme I picked out, go check out my future home, and let me know what you guys think. I found the theme over at Brian Gardner’s site, and the footer section I lopped off for now to fix later, but I’ll need to add it in to give credit to him. Anyways, back to fixing up some blog posts for me.

Congratulations for your new home buddy! And all the best!!
Do you use the text widget to place your 125×125 or do you edit the sidebar code?
@ Louie – I’m currently just using a text widget to put the ad code in. What I want to do is move the 2 right side bars down enough to fit 2 rows of 3 125 x 125 slots.
@ Life is Colorful – Thanks for the welcome =)
Looks fine so far. Brian Gardner does some great themes. I have thought about using one of his and having him customize a few things in to it for me, but as I have not put and ads or anything on my site, I can’t justify spending any more on it.

Loving the new digs! I know it had to be tough work, but hopefully it’ll be worth it to have a “place of your own.”
Thanks Mike =) Yea it was a long time coming, I wish I had done the move sooner.
Will – His themes are pretty easy to customize, and his coding is very easy to read. I was able to do the includes for the 6 image ad spots for this blog pretty easily too.
[...] read, with slight amusement, one of the articles he imported from blogger. "New Site Almost is Up – I Already Hate GoDaddy" reads a lot like what I've read at other sites (including mine) about registrars that [...]
I have 100 domains on Godaddy and i can say that this company is very reputable.-:’
Goddady is the best registrar, another one is Enom.-*
