Sandier Pastures might be dead, I need help
a day in the life July 30th, 2008One of the days I dread has come - I accessed my site and found out it’s dead. No, not this site, as obviously, this post was posted successfully and readable to everyone. My other site has died this morning and I am mourning like crazy.
Events that lead to its death:
- Since the start of this week, I had been doing backups of the database and home directory.
- I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.1 using Fantastico in the control panel in my host (I am using Bluehost)
Upgrade was successful (or so it seems) although there’s nothing more suspicious and scary like a very quick process instead of a normal long one. Too much of a good thing is really full of hidden agendas.
While enjoying the new environment of WP 2.5.1, I’ve noticed that the loading time is longer, my PC freezes from time to time while I’m writing my posts and I can’t load an image. That’s when I started to panic. I wish I didn’t upgrade!!
Then this morning, out of the blue, I got an error saying “This account has exceeded CPU quota”. The dreaded gray screen that says bloggy life is suspended.
That’s when I panicked more.
My host has not been helpful enough to solve my problem. I have two blogs, the dead one (Sandier Pastures) and this one which survived (I don’t know why it’s still alive but really thankful that it is). I’m calling out to any readers out there who can help me with techie stuff! I am desperate, depressed and very very sad!
If in any case this site will be wiped off from the face of internet land, please drop me a line at mom at theparentingdiaries dot com. Thanks a lot.
