Anyone Know How To Move A WordPress Blog To Another Web Host?

Leave a reply

Switching hosting is a pain in the ass, but if you need to switch your blog to a new host it’s a bigger pain. I’m not the most patient person in the world by any means, that’s one of the reasons I work so hard. I hate waiting, I like results yesterday. That can be  a good and a bad trait to have. On one hand I work my ass to get what I want, but on the other hand well I have no patience for regular stuff like city traffic, waiting in lineups at the grocery store and so on.

The problem now is this, I need to switch my web hosting and move my WordPress blog to the new hosting provider. I tried it about 2 months with no luck, I screwed up moving the blog database.  And not only am I impatient but I am also kinda cheap. I don’t see the point in paying for 2 web hosts at the same time (something I am doing right now).

Here is the point to this post, does anyone who reads this blog know how to move a blog to another hosting provider? I am willing to pay for it.

I have read the tutorials but I would rather get someone who knows how to do. I don’t have the patience or time to screw around with it. Any takers out there? Email me I would like to get this out of my head and done ASAP. If I don’t find anyone I will just post an ad on Craigslist.com

Smoking Hot Summer Day Perfect For Greek Food!

Leave a reply

It’s Monday in Vancouver and it’s nice and hot. We take the sun when we can because it’s not always here to enjoy (last week was dull and gray). Today dinner will consist of Greek food: Greek salad, chicken Souvlaki, Tzatziki sauce and Pita bread. My wife is a great cook, she can print up any recipe from the web and have it taste awesome on the first try.  Dinner will be ready shortly, I can’t wait.. Mmmm. And if we go out for Greek food , we go to Stephos down on Davie Street in downtown Vancouver. Stephos has the biggest portions and a very cheap price. This is my favorite Greek restaurant in the city of Vancouver by far. Dinner’s ready…………..

Next Weeks Goals & Gay Pride Day Parade In Vancouver

5 Replies

Today we are going to check out Vancouver Pride Day Parade, even though it’s not something I consider a family event it has all the factors a parade would have from, crazy costumes, balloons and clowns (hopefully they’re clothed!). But not a family parade as some people tend to describe it as. In any case it’s a fun day, me along with 350,000 other Vancouverites thought so as well. Happy Pride!

Next weeks to do list:

  • trim the fat off of my PPC (pay per click) ad campaigns too save money on clicks
  • build more campaigns to expand on the current niche I am promoting
  • find more P campaigns to use
  • work on my landing pages to bring the bounce rate down
  • write some more articles for my sites
  • find new niches, for more $$

Temperature Manipulation For Profit

Leave a reply

Holy sh*t, this coffee shop is blazing hot. One day it’s smoking hot, the next day the air conditioning makes it soo cold that icicles form on my eyebrows.  I talked to Habib (the owner)and he just laughs? Maybe he doesn’t understand what I am saying? It’s damn Hot in here Habib!!

I was thinking that maybe there is a method to this madness. One day he wants to sell cold drinks so he blasts the heat, then he runs out of cold drinks and wants to sell mad amounts of coffee so he cranks the hell out of the air conditioning. Not a bad idea right? Right now I’m sweating, tomorrow I’ll bring my sweater. Even Mr. Colsone (the dude in front of me at the coffee shop) has been b*tching about the fluctuation in temperature.

Ooops tomorrow is Saturday, no worky worky tomorrow. I will be back on Monday and the game will start all over again. Oh the joys of using free wireless internet from a coffee shop. I had to buy a San Pellegrino Limonata to cool off. This is almost as bad as the gas giants raising prices to insane levels. The consumer is forced to adapt once again. Or MAYBE I should stop bitching and go find another place to steal wireless internet from, the cheap weasel that I am….
