Whew. Been offline the past few days but back in business now. Ended up spending Sunday thru Tuesday in Tallaght hospital just after initating the port of my blog from shared to local hosting (though the events were unrelated!) The hospital trip ended with a return to health, I was parent not patient, and all is well now again, Thank God.
So the hosting migration took a backseat for few days and had to pick up again last night, few hiccups such as deleting all MySQL databases including the default site-admin one in an over zealous cleardown, but up and running now.
Posting backlog about to be cleared!
