Thursday Morning Update
November 8, 2007
Well, after a very long night, here’s the progress:
- All current e-mail should be coming in fine now - there should be no lost or bouncing e-mails at this point. If you have reports from your clients of not being able to get through to you let me know ASAP.
- All the websites are displaying, but could still throw some errors when clicking on “hardcoded” links or when an image on the site points to a full path (ie, gemtravelsites.com/images/aaa.jpg) because they are pointing to a numerical address once you hit the site. If your graphics or links are dead they will be restored when we perform our audit this weekend.
Since our backup server was designed to be a short-term solution and not long term, I have purchased a newer, faster server with our backup company and we will be transitioning over this weekend. Don’t Worry! (*says the sleep deprived geeky-girl) The only change you will need to make is to log into your control panel a little differently on Monday. All mail functions will remain the same from this point on.
Now for some good news: When this is all over, I’ll have some “goodies” to thank everyone for their patience through this mess. A couple of new templates that you can switch to for free (waiving the $250 template change fee!) to give your site a makeover, some newsletter templates you can use to send a Holiday card to your clients, and a copy of my new e-marketing book from travelwebmarketing.com.
I’m hoping to be able to have a couple of conference calls tomorrow to help with e-mail challenges. I’ll be on the line to answer questions about setups, migrations to web-based mail and anything else that’s still troubling. Look for details in the morning.
Finally, in my zeal to setup everyone else’s boxes, I forgot my damn self. So, if you sent a mail to chelle@crossoverconsulting.com or chelle@gemtravelsites.com this week, it might not have made it. Re-send it to chelleyarbrough@gmail.com
We’re almost through. A big thank you to those that have offered wine (and stronger), chocolate, hugs and Rogaine (in case I was pulling my hair out) - I’m pleased to say my hair is in tact, I have some awesome coffee the sun is shining through my office window, and I’ve got this playlist going.
