Testing, Testing… is anyone out there?
Well, I think we have finally gotten through the tough, frustrating, and stressful portion of changing the website. The problem was with the hosting company I was using. Although they were really nice, helpful, and courteous, they just weren’t able to make my site run smoothly. They kept shutting down my website, I had posts that were lost, and I have had SEVERAL readers not be able to view updated posts, some since January 27th. After trying everything, I finally decided to move to a different hosting company that is able to handle my site (fingers crossed).
I couldn’t have gotten through this difficult and stressful time without the help and support of the most amazing web designer out there – Lindsay from Purr Design. This woman went above and beyond for me and I truly can’t even imagine where I would be right now if it weren’t for her knowledge, help, and fantastic customer service. If you are ever in need of a web designer, look no further, because Lindsay, in my opinion, is the BEST!
I have a favor to ask of you. If you were having difficulty seeing my new posts, or could only view new recipes when you hit refresh, please comment and let me know if this testing post came right up for you. It would really help us out to know if things are back to normal.
Once again – thank you so much for your continued support and patience through this difficult transition. If all goes well tonight & tomorrow, I will be back to posting on Friday.
There is just so much sharing! I am totally inspired.
Yes! I was not able to view anything past January 26th, and this came right up. Thank goodness, I missed your wonderful posts! 🙂
Got my fingers crossed for you. Miss your daily posts!
I still had to hit refresh for this to show.

I had to hit refresh to see the newest entry. Good Luck.

The new site looks great 🙂
Hi Pam! I just wanted to let you know that I have been receiving all of your updated posts on my blogger dashboard. I have not noticed any glitches on my end.
If you don’t mind me asking,, what hosting company were you using and what are you using now? Was is wordpress? I am only asking because I may switch down the road and don’t want to make that switch if the hosting company is no good.
Fingers crossed that this one works out for you!
So far so good, great layout~

Came right up for me Sista, Hurray!
All working fine – I recently discovered your blog on a recipe Google search and have tried several – wonderful stuff! I didn’t have any problems before but this is sure slick! Thanks for spending the time and I look forward to more great recipes and hints!

I had to hit refresh to see this post
I’ve not had a problem viewing your posts, and I hope you have your problem solved. I understand your terrific frustration!
Yep, fixed!
Your website has been working fine for me and my roommate, Katie Skoglund, all year. We look forward to many dinner parties to come where we, and all of our friends, can celebrate with your recipes! We love your blog 🙂
had to press refresh
Still had to hit the refresh button for this one 🙁
Hi Pam, I clicked your link in my favorites and this post popped right up, no refresh. So far so good!
My fingers AND toes are crossed for you that it works!!! And, I haven’t had any problems seeing you posts or any old ones… I’ve been a luck one 🙂
Came right up and worked fine for me! Love you new format. Hopefully, it is smooth sailing from now on.
The testing screen popped right up for me. Bonne Chance!
No problem with this. It popped right up for me. Looking forward to more recipes.
Looks good from my end!
Everything seems fine, Pam! Looking forward to your new posts! XO
Still needing to refresh in order to see new posts.
I was definitely having issues viewing new posts before, but this came up just fine. Can’t wait until everything is back running like normal. Good luck!
I wasn’t able to access your site since January, either. Then the Feb 8th post kept coming up. I refreshed today and got the latest entry. Good luck!
Didn’t know to hit the refresh button … just SO HAPPY you are back !!!
It all looks good to me! I’m SO happy you’re back!
Still having to hit refresh to see current entries – I have Internet Explorer 9. I have another computer with an earlier version of Internet Explorer (8) and do not have to hit refresh to see the latest entry. Must be that pesky version 9 causing the chaos. (A computer guru suggested I download Firefox to solve the issue.)
I have been unable to view your new posts since Feb. 10th. I did not know about hitting the refresh button and as I just tried it your newest recipe is up! This has been a re-occurring thing since your switch over to your new and beautiful website that is much easier to navigate through. I will now hit the refresh button- problem solved.
Thank you for your great recipes. I have made several of them and they are wonderful.
Amber
Your blog looks great & I didn’t had any problem at all! I am using Netnewswire!
Posso osservare la pagina ma perché sono tutto il testo in italiano?
(Hint: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt Italian to English)
All is well here with the site – and its looks fabulous!
I still can’t access the new website — every time I try to navigate to your website, it takes me to the recipe you posted on Jan 27th 🙁 I only got to this page via a link from another website.
Of course we’re here…waiting for some interesting receipts!!!

I can still only see a post from Jan. 23. I found this link on your twitter.
Help! I still miss your website that I view daily – but I getredirected and not updated. Can I be doing something wrong?
I haven’t been able to view any posts since late january. I found this post by clicking on your “recipe index.” Hope it gets fixed soon!
