Julie and Julia

(Julie Powell) 

:Teaser:

You have Julie.  She's a 29 year old at a seemingly dead end point in her life of which she can't make any sense.  So, she throws herself into learning how to cook and daily blogging--something very laborious, routine, and highly structured--to see if she can once again find some meaning in her life over the course of a year and the 524 recipes included in Mastering the Art of French Cooking

I Live!!!

It's Jenn, once again.

So, I was thinking about restarting this blog again since I have gotten back into reading.  I was out of it for awhile, because I had to get rid of most of my books for a couple moves.  It just took the love of it out of me for awhile.

So, I get on this new spiffy blogger to check over this account and...

Lo and behold...

My site isn't working.  More specifically, the domain to which blogger it is redirecting is not working at all.  Problem is that I have no control over that domain at the present time.  It is under a family member's account.  So...

After trying to get in touch with them to resolve the issue for over 2 weeks with no response, I just decided to unlink the domain for now.  Thankfully, my posts are at least visible at the moment again.

But...this basically screws up all my post links, amazon links, and a whole lot of other fun stuff that I worked very hard to create back in 2008-2010.  It's just zero fun all round with this whole issue.

I just couldn't stand waiting anymore.  I may change the url back to the original if this issue ever gets resolved.  That is my eternal hope as to how this situation plays out.

Worse case scenario is that I have to change the name all together which is something I'd rather not ever do. I also loathe even thinking about migrating all these posts over to a new place.

I will keep y'all posted as I know more.  I have done all I can at this point.  So, it's just a waiting game.  Unfortunately, I am not good at waiting. 

UPDATE:

Situation is over.  Everything is working again.  I have all the redirects and whatnot fixed hopefully.  Yay!  My dumpy little book blog lives again.  :)

I'll be going through and checking the links in old posts and related things over the next bit.  So, excuse any mess that pops up.  It appears that I am the queen of messes at the moment.

Also, just an FYI for all my frugal book lovers:

Dollar Tree has been getting in a lot of books from the Target book section.  They have all kinds of hardbacks and other fascinating finds for just $1.  I picked up quite a few, because I love being able to expand my literary horizons on the cheap.  Basically, if a book ends up not being to my liking, I only spent one dollar.  :)
