New hotness

Welcome to the new blog.  Or really the old blog with a new blog engine and a new host.

I've been wanting to get back into blogging with numerous reasons preventing me.  Mostly because I didn't have the time, but there were legit issues with the old WordPress blog on my old host.  Or just call it laziness.

So the new blog engine is BlogEngine.NET, not surprisingly a .NET based blog engine (guess you figured that by the name, huh).  I must say this has been the EASIEST blog engine I've worked with to date.  Conversion couldn't be easier, working with layouts was a snap.  So far its been a very positive experience... including a 1.4.5 upgrade to 1.5.x which took 5 minutes.  Good stuff.

I've also left WebHost4Life as my webhost.  Their renewal was simply too expensive.  I'll continue to give them props for available features but not at their price point.  So I am going to the other end of the spectrum and going with Godaddy.  The price verses feature set seemed right, and so far their control panels have been pretty easy to work with.  Not a single ticket needed to get my site working and fully transferred.  The hardest part was getting DNS transferred, which took me 10 minutes to figure out.   If you can read this, well, guess it worked.  So the total site migration took about 2 hours. 

Oh, and if you were looking for the consulting part of GP Consulting, well, that part of my business has been closed down for years except to service my prior customers.  That doesn't mean there won't be new things coming...  Cool

Hopefully this will the beginning of new rants and raves.
