IMPORTANT! 

Sadly, within the next week I will have to abandon this Typepad service.  YES, I will continue my journaling though.  If you have bookmarked this page, please bookmark www.jimanddoni.com also.  My journaling will be moved back to my website shortly and this link will cease to exist!

I will be using a different blog service that I can run off our web server so the look will change some but I won’t loose the newer features (archiving, comments, easier organization, etc.)

Why the change?  I have been using Typepads free trial this month.  As it turns out, the most advanced typepad service available only allows for 5 gigs of bandwidth per month.  As of today, it appears that I will far exceed 5 gigs in my first month on typepad.  They do not have a package available that can accomodate the level of web traffic that my site is getting!  How in the heck did that happen? I am not (nor have I personally ever) advertising this site.  I have not made it "public" on typepad either yet I am getting an average of 400 to 500 hits per day on this journal! 

Jodi Lynn!  How many times are you hitting that button???? LOL!!! 

Anyhow, as I don’t want to pay for overage fees every month, I have no choice but to abandon this service much as I like it.  Even if they had a package that accomodated my web traffic, it would probably be too expensive for me anyhow.  By moving a blog platform to my website, I won’t be paying an additional monthly charge.  I hope I like it but at the moment I don’t have a lot of options anyhow.
