A day where you go &#8220;It's just one of those days&#8221; because everything seems to be going wrong, or at least that ONE thing you really wanted and\/or needed to get done goes wrong? Boy I sure have. In fact yesterday was one such day.<\/p>\n<p>When I first moved all my websites from my old host to <a title=\"Hostgator\" href=\"https:\/\/jeffwoodonline.com\/blog\/hostgator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hostgator<\/a>, I didn't do it all at once, I moved a couple at a time and I tried a couple of different ways. What did I learn? I will never ever move a blog the way I moved <a title=\"Saltwater Fish Keeping\" href=\"http:\/\/saltwaterfishkeeping.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saltwater Fish Keeping<\/a>. I moved it by copying all the files from the one host and pasting them into the other. Not making and restoring a backup mind you, just a straight copy. Yesterday, after a couple years now, I decided to &#8220;fix&#8221; it as\u00a0I could not upload photos and I had stalled and stalled on fixing it.<\/p>\n<p>So yesterday I decided to take the hour or so (HA!) and finally fix the problem. I tried a couple of different ways in order to minimize the amount of time and work involved. It ended up taking me several hours, much much more effort,\u00a0and I still need to take care of some plugins and other such fun stuff. Blah.<\/p>\n<p>But the problem is now, finally, fixed.<\/p>\n<p>I may, in some future post, document how to properly move a blog from one host to another, but for now I'm taking today and going to my daughter's track invitational.<\/p>\n<p>The point of this post? Great question, here's my answer: Throughout your blogging experiences you will have times where things go wrong. It happens. Sometimes you have to undo, or redo, something you did a long time ago. It happens. What is important is that you don't stop, you continue on.<\/p>\n<p>It would have been real easy to just walk away yesterday and drop the site altogether. I have done similar before, but had I pressed on then, I would have been much farther ahead than I am now. Press on. That's what gets you through.<\/p>\n<p>Just press on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Jeffery<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever have them?
