Huh? Explanation please?! If you have visited my “main” website lately, you will have read my message about closing down April 1st. That’s right folks, my beloved LWD is closing down forever.

I started my web design business officially back in 2001 (non-officially in 2000). Thanks to all of my wonderful clients (truly, I love all you guys - and girls! lol) - I have managed to stay in business all these years. I never thought it would be possible. So why close?

Well, first of all… I am not closing completely. I will still be doing maintenance for my regulars, and you know who you are! And I will also accept a limited number of new clients as I am able to take on new projects.

She has arrived! A whole month early but very healthy!

Abigail Avez (pronounced AVIS) was born on November 19th 2007 at 10:11 pm.

Some of my design clients may be saying - WHAT!? You had a baby? I didn’t even know you were pregnant!

Due to our past history of pregnancy problems and our little girl dying at birth a few years ago, I am VERY gun shy when it comes to announcing any pending arrivals.

I noticed that my main web design site and my homeschool site were not receiving emails yesterday morning. I checked and the sites were down. Hmmm. We’ve had the flu something awful in my house the last few days so I climbed back into bed and figured they were down temporarily. I checked last night and guess what? Still down.

I am posting this here for any of my previous hosting clients since The Host Group hasn’t bothered to provide any updates. If you want to call them yourself, the number I have for The Host Group is 1.866.467.8844.

From what I understand, the company that manages their servers was bought out and the transfer was taking place this weekend. They had the servers up but had to take them back down for some reason. They are supposed to be back online around 8pm EST tonight.

Totally unrelated to anything, but so what.

A few months ago, while moving into our new house, we were using the only thing unpacked to listen to CD’s - my computer. After removing a disc my husband comes and tells me that the CD he put in isn’t working. I roll my eyes and walk on over expecting that my computer illiterate husband has forgotten something simple like clicking play. I click play, close and open both RealPlayer and Windows Media Player, and nothing works.

Hmmm. Weird.

So I open My Computer and see that my C-Drive is missing. As in vanished, gone. I look at my husband. Speaking is not necessary, he knows my looks. He proceeds to swear he touched nothing except for putting in a new CD.

Long story short, after shutting down and re-starting a dozen times and crying uncontrollably over my lost files, the system somehow recovered most of itself and the C-Drive reappeared. Thank goodness.

Afterwards, however, Internet Explorer would not work at all. I upgraded, reinstalled, etc. to no avail. The browser would open, never load, freeze and I would have to shut everything down. I gave up.
