C3 Energy Alternate Energy Update

My readers may think I fell off the planet, since I haven’t posted anything for a several days.  Well, I’m still here.  I’ve been incredibly busy just dealing with daily life issues.  Also, I’ve been working hard to add some more features to the blog system as well as upgrading the blog software and plugins.  Well, that didn’t go well.  For days, I’ve been unable to add new categories to the blog, and the permalinks stopped working.  I’ve been searching forums and websites trying to determine why.  I know other people have been having similar problems.  Today, it seems to be working again and I don’t know why that’s happening either.  I guess I will take good luck where I can get it.  Maybe the hosting company was messing with their servers.  I also have been tinkering with the htaccess files to redirect all querys to www.c3energy.com over to c3energy.com.  It seemed like a good idea at the time.  Then, I couldn’t publish with FrontPage.  Then I read some more and found that FrontPage was incompatible with WordPress.  Arghhh!  I read some more and I think I found some more modifications to the htaccess files that are supposed to fix this problem.  Now, I am an engineer by training, and I’m fully capable of editing Linux configuration files when necessary.  But frankly, I don’t wish to spend my time being a blog engineer.  I don’t want to learn all the intricacies of htaccess files.  I don’t want to become an expert in all the ways hackers can break blogs, although I may have to.  I want to spend my time researching and documenting alternate energy.  Anyway, I think the blog is running again.  I hope to be publishing energy related topics again soon.

Sincerely,

Ron
