I’d like to begin this post with a big fat “THANK YOU” to all who hung around waiting for the server issues to be resolved, leaving comments whenever you could, all wrought with patience and support. Thank you. As you may have guessed, the server issues have been resolved, however, I think it only appropriate that I fill in some blanks.

I started pecking away at this thing called a blog back in March, 2003. And like most bloggers, my roots can be traced back to Blogspot. Then in late May of the same year, Kate of Electric Venom convinced me to move Sgt Hook off of Blogspot and onto my own domain. Not only did she talk me into it, but Kate went above and beyond by helping to set up my template and teaching me how to use Moveable Type. Then, when my hosting company went bankrupt while I was in Afghanistan, Kate again went the extra mile, graciously taking me under her wing and into her then new hosting company, Venom Pages. Suffice to say, Kate has been a fabulous friend and a perfect hostess over the years.

Alas, the server that Venom Pages had been using was recently subjected to a series of corporate takeovers and Kate has decided to get out of the hosting business. I’m extremely grateful for all the help she has given me since March of 2003.

As many of you know, I also changed Sgt Hook’s template while I was in Afghanistan and switched to Wordpress. None of which I could possibly have done on my own. Lisa of E.Webscapes likewise went above and beyond, converting my blog software and designing the template I currently have today. Lisa has also answered several of my frantic cries for help when something went awry with WP that was way above my skill level to even think about fixing. And each time she fixed me up for just the promise of a cold beer should we ever meet.

Faced with looking for a new hosting company I immediately went to Lisa who just happens to be the owner, operator, and customer of Blogs About Hosting, a reputable and reliable web hosting company specializing in weblog support. I’m very pleased to have Sgt Hook hosted by Blogs About and highly recommend Lisa and the gang for all of your blog needs. I trust that you will be pleased as well, if not with the content, at least with the reliable service. Thanks again everyone. Sgt Hook out.

Used Lisa and her group of very talented designers at Ewebscapes for my blog. They designed my blog and host mine as well. Hats off to them! Also… glad that you were able to recover the part of your blog that went missing.

Happy to hear you’re on a smoother trail. And I agree with Tammi - you’re going to have to get up earlier than O’dark-thirty to lose us!

I’m delighted the issues have been resolved. The comments are great and have me giggling! I agree with all of them and am imagining what a mob of Hook followers would look like Sounds a bit threatening to me. Guess you’d better keep up the good work, Hook!

Have a great weekend, y’all!
