So, I finally got around to migrating my websites out of the machine in my basement and onto outside hosting. I went with Dreamhost on the advice of several other erotic art/writing creators who have been using them and have been supported by their policies rather than attacked by them.

My biggest worry with outside hosting of course is that everything will get deleted as a TOS violation, which is one reason we held onto running our own servers for so long. But at this point it's too much of a pain to deal with the upkeep and the downtime. Every time we have a thunderstorm and a power blip, we go offline. If Comcast has an outage in the neighborhood, we go offline. Etc.

And so far, moving over to Dreamhost has been very smooth! Three of our four websites migrated without a blip. Circlet.com, which I am still running until Riverdale Ave Books gets around to adding our books to their e-commerce site, failed mysteriously, and I'm going to try that one again once I get the DNS re-pointed, etc.

BUT, when I went back and edited and cleaned up some old posts... for some reason they re-cross-posted to DW? That isn't how the cross-poster is supposed to work, I don't think...?!?!

Anyway, if you're wondering why the heck a half dozen posts from 2020 just showed up, that's why.
