Writing, Editing, and Site Hiccups
Last weekend, I found myself immersed in editing, rewriting and writing. I edited almost two chapters for Prosperity. The writing “groove” followed me into the week, onto other projects, such as the Lulu blog. I’ll be posting on that site once or twice a week. I had planned to post another article last night, when problems with The Writers Buzz sprang up.
The short version of this story is that I can no longer post book excerpts or much of anything. I’m not sure what happened and am working on getting this problem resolved. I tried upgrading from 2.0 to 2.1.3, which turned out to be a disaster because the MySQL database wouldn’t accept my backup. The same thing happened with WBA, and you all know what happened to that.
I’m not going to let The Writers Buzz die, but I’m giving serious thought into switching to a new CMS. Knowing the headaches I’ve faced with other programs, I’m going to think long and hard about this before I make my final decision.
Update: The problem turned out to be the code written in the mod_security that tripped everything up. My host fixed the code, and now I can post again.

Congratulations on your progress, and on getting the site problem fixed!

Thanks, Marti.
I think I’m destined to remain an apprentice, where webmastering is concerned.

I’ve been rewriting and editing too. I need to put my first novel to rest.
I’m really looking forward to your Lulu blog. It will be very helpful!

I feel the same way, Fred. Best wishes for your book’s success!
