In Transition — as the page says

Due to a monu­mental FUBAR between my web­site host, server restric­tions, and some resource-heavy word­press plu­gins, Bradgrier.com is cur­rently without a home.

All is not lost:

• I have a backup of the site, con­tent, posts, com­ments etc
• I retain my domain names etc
• I have a boat-load of work ahead of me as I research and rebuild

Les­sons learned:

1. Backups are essential
2. You get what you pay for
3. Some­times you get burned

Things to do:

• point exist­ing domain names to this wordpress-hosted blog
• Reasearch robust hosts (I prefer a hos­ted solu­tion as I do use some 3^rd party plugins)
• Take a deep breath

So, what have I missed. Any advice for me as I make this rather unsched­uled trans­ition? Com­ments are welcome!
