[WriteLog] K9JY WriteLog site update

[Scot Herrick]

All,

I've moved the hosting for my WriteLog help site - no change in domain name for access or anything like that. You may see 'this site is not secure' for a bit while the certificates get generated, but then it should be clean. If you get that message, just click on Advanced and tell your browser to go to the site anyway.

You will see a different, though similar, theme for the site as well as some differences in how some pages are displayed - mostly a text side and images on the other half of the page. As well, there are still a few things needing updating. But enough of it is done to activate the new site.

For those who have never moved a site before, it's 'easy'. You export your site in an XML format and then import that XML file to the new site. All the content is (mostly) there - but it is not in the same order as the original site. You end up having to review every page, copy and paste text, re-do the images from the library (I use a LOT of screenshots), and format the text into proper paragraphs because it mostly all runs together. It's taken a couple of weeks to get it to this point after doing my day job.

I moved the site because the theme people I've been paying for years decided to raise their price to $900(!) per year. This is one of those cases where something elegant and simple starting out turned into feature after feature after feature to the point where you don't use 90% of the features available. (IMHO, there is a lot of software like this. See: Microsoft Word). And then there are monthly hosting fees as well. This solution gets the pricing back to reasonable.

Let me know if you see anything that needs correcting. You can be my editors!
