<p>It's not a daily task, but rather a constant watchfulness with a website like mine.&nbsp; Add some images, delete, tweek, etc.&nbsp; But the other day I was stunned to see a totally different screen from the same URL that I'd been using for several years to administer my site.&nbsp; I double checked.&nbsp; Triple checked.&nbsp; Checked the link.&nbsp; Checked my Favorites link.&nbsp; What the ___?&nbsp; Website still up, just can't get to the control panel which means I can't change anything.&nbsp; Can't add, can't delete.&nbsp; WOW!&nbsp; Why won't the host reply to my pleas for help?&nbsp; Days go by.&nbsp; A sale!&nbsp; Trusty ol' Paypal sends me the email but it only tells me the amount, not whether it was one item or more...&nbsp; Still nothing from the host.&nbsp; Confirmation with the customer is adequate but now I can't remove the item from the site!&nbsp; What if someone else buys that again? (this was a one of a kind item).</p>
<p>TIME FOR A NEW WEBSITE</p>
<p>More or less pushed into it,&nbsp;I was pleasantly surprised to find it not so daunting as I had feared and relatively routine to not only find a very user-friendly template, but also what seems to be a well thought out design for people like me who depend on using images to show the world what we do.&nbsp; Thank you Silhouette.</p>
<p>I guess it's kind of like buying another house when you're not really ready.&nbsp; The transition is a bit scary and un-nerving.&nbsp; And even though the furniture has been moved, nothing is really in the right place yet.&nbsp;Just need some time.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks for your patience!</p>
