New Beginnings
Jun 24th, 2007 by admin
As of the moment the medicineldoge.indexkansas.com site is off line. There were some issues with the load on the server and so all but paying sites are off line. I totally understand the host providers reasoning. The inMedicineLodge.com site wasn’t doing much for the town or the state. Perhaps, because I wasn’t doing much either. Nevertheless, the site was doing something for a few people and that’s good enough for me. It provided a way for both my wife’s family and mine to see and hear what was going on in our lives and in our environment. Occasionally, someone from our town or elsewhere found the site and spent some time there as well*. Perhaps someone far from home found it comforting to see pictures and videos about their old stomping grounds… I’ll never really know. That was a part of the initial intent.
I determined that since Medicine Lodge only has a few contributers and a handful of regular visitors and no paying sponsors, that it really doesn’t need to take up space and resources on a system for high volume paying customers. I greatly appreciate all the effort that has taken place to do something worth while for our town.
I have decided to continue the inMedicineLodge.com site on another shared host. I have chosen the new WordPress as the platform. It seems to have everything that is needed to post, organize and syndicate different kinds of content. Currently, it supports multi-users with roles and policies and can be expanded with “plug-ins”. There’s a bunch out there for everything from photo galleries, to e-commerce.
Well, thats all for now. I’ll be posting some of the old content from medicinelodge.indexkansas.com when/if it returns back online. If your interested, you can check out the new beginnings at http://www.inMedicineLodge.com
P.S. If you have a site send me a link so I can add a link to it on mine.
your friend,
jason.
