Back to Blogger

Its been three years since I used the blogger service and now I have returned. This decision was quite easy given some of the difficulties I faced with hosting my own website.

Twice my website was hacked. The first time was mostly annoying as it just pointed all links to a warez site and run sluggishly. The second time was a worse as it completely embedded malicious code in the software and after talking to the providers it was best to just re-build the site from scratch which I did. Fortunately for me, both times I was able to save all entries and so the rebuilding process allowed me to optimise code and streamline the code which was starting to get a little messy from all the tinkering.

The third problem was the killer. I changed my domain name provider to an american company called GoDaddy and forgot that the anniversary date for renewal also changed. At the time I also changed internet service provider and did not update my contact details. Anniversary date came and went and since I did not renew, another company picked up my domain name and I am locked out and pretty annoyed with myself.

However, since I am ready to start cooking properly again, I was looking at the options and will continue with blogger for the next wee while.

So today is the first day of my efforts to start posting again. New camera, new attitude and new kitchen which is TINY!
