Moving On, But Not To Move On Dot Org
10.01.04 (3:10 pm)

Sorry about the blog not being updated for a few days folks, I've been spending the time over the last few days looking for a new site to host the blog.


I do rather like tblog, it is very easy to use, but sadly we've simply outgrown it for a host.  We are looking for some features Tblog doesn't currently support, and as a result we'll be moving our operation to a new host as soon as we've decided on our best option.


Overall Tblog has been a good service, but I do have some issues with the support we received when questions or problems arose.  Our postings in the support forum always went completely unanswered, as did several of our emails.  There were other minor annoyances as well, such as the constant spamming of the political channel by the village idiot.  We suggested several ways Tblog could make changes to make such spamming far less irritating to the rest of us, and again our suggestions went unanswered.  I fully understand that new features take time to implement, but as far as we can tell all of our suggestions fell on deaf ears.


I realize Tblog has a great many users and as such it's operators are probably rather busy people, but while I respect Tblog's commitment to providing a free blog with a lot of capabilities I think they could have done a much better job of taking care of their paying customers, such as ourselves. 


There was also the question of reliability, while Tblog's service has improved somewhat of late it was not all that uncommon over the last several months for our site to be down almost as often as it was up.


So for these reasons we have decided to move on to another host Strangely enough moveon.org didn't seem to be interested in hosting our blog, so were investigating other options.


We'll post the new URL as soon as we make our final decision on a new host, it should happen within the next several weeks.

We have several individuals who post here, so that we can offer various perspectives on issues.

Also the term "neo-con" really doesn't apply, I am a conservative, not a neo-anything.

Simple really, while Bush is probably not as conservative as I am, he is far more conservative than the alternative. From what I've seen of Senator Kerry the only people who could even begin to refer to him as "conservative" or "moderate" are people like Chomsky, Stalin and Castro. Other than that Kerry is about as far left wing as one can get.

So while I do disagree with several of the policies of the President, on the whole I think he's done an excellent job considering the challenges he's had to face, and the almost total lack of support, nah, active effort to undermine his efforts in the war on terror, thus jeapordizing our national security, by the Democratic party to score polititcal points.

Second, and most importantly, I like Bush personally. He says what he means and he does what he says. While I might not always agree with his point of view, at least I know where he stands. Kerry stands everywhere on everything and changes from moment to moment depending on his audience, or wind direction, or ambient temprature. Almost any change at all is enough to get Kerry to change positions on some pretty weighty issues. That is disturbing, to say the least.

He strikes me as a man of no character or moral center whatsoever, simply someone who will say or do anything to get elected. Sorry, but I've seen enough of that in D.C. already.

I'll miss you guys here on tblog. Hopefully you'll leave a pointer to your new website as soon as you find a host.

To be neo-con or not to be neo-con. Those liberals throw the term neo-con around like it's some kind of substantial insult. I'm with you, stepdad. I'm a proud conservative, not a neo-anything.

We'll definitely leave up a pointer to the new place. We want our loyal readers, and our loyal opposition, to be able to find us. The site is better for your input, so we hope you'll follow us over. Thanks much

Jeeze! If you guys move, dripsidedown will have to look for another place to prove his ignorance. How can you guys be so cruel! Heh!

Seriously, if you need a hand finding a hosting company, I'd be glad to assist. I know a couple of good ones.

"I didn't realize it took a team of neo-cons to run your blog."

Even then, they still can't get it to work.
