Update to the update, Monday, 10 pm: It seems to be working, and working well! There may be a few lost comments if you commented on anything this afternoon; there was a brief period of time between finally figuring out how to export the old site and figuring out how to import it to the new location, and if anyone commented during that rather frantic period, it didn’t make it over. I apologize!
Thanks for your patience during the move! I look forward to not having to wait three minutes to switch between the edit mode and the preview mode while I’m writing posts.
Update, Mon 4:15 pm: I think we’ve made the switch … DNS will probably take a while to propagate around the intertubes so things might still be slow for a bit. Please let me know if anything weird happens on your end — let me know either in the comments, or via email to yousuckatcraigslist@gmail.com. (Also let me know if it’s working better!) Today’s post is up below this entry if’n you haven’t seen it yet.
Hi folks. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably just sat there for about ten seconds waiting for the page to load (or more! It takes me ~30 seconds sometimes!).
That’s unacceptable, so I’m switching hosts this week. (For what it’s worth, FatCow is my old hosting provider, and as of right now I’m planning to move to WebFaction.com. I’m really not happy with the service from FatCow — from searching around online I’ve found that I’m not the only one experiencing these problems with them recently.)
What that means is that at some point or another, something is bound to go wonky with the site — it will be unavailable or the formatting will explode or something else weird will happen. Murphy’s Law, right?
If we do go down, please be patient — YSaC will be back, and hopefully be faster than before. I’ll try to update the Facebook page and the Twitter feed when things are back to normal.
In the meantime, use your spare time (you know, the time you’ve been using to wait for the pages to load!) to search for Craigslist posts to send in! Oh, and have a sammich.
