<p class=" core-paragraph-BDrnifLohHQSsFZtCuJTv eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core"></p>



<p class=" core-paragraph-Th8hJz44U_0E6cfVwrV64 eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">It all started as a &#8216;techy&#8217; experiment back in May 2004, but today is exactly <em>20 years</em> since I first began trying out the then <em>&#8216;next big thing&#8217;</em> called <em>&#8216;blogging&#8217;</em>. Back then, the promise was that <em>&#8216;everyone, one day, will have their own Blog&#8217;</em> &#8211; so I thought I&#8217;d better get in the queue. Oops! I&#8217;m not sure Blogs <em>ever</em> lived up to that promise &#8211; the social media titans of <em>Meta</em> and <em>Twitter</em> certainly derailed that original vision! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f632.png" alt="😲" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p class=" core-paragraph-XpOS9UmKeyzJWWGQ0NOgn eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">However, I stuck with it, and although my content was never of earth-shattering importance, it served as an enjoyable method of recording the <em>bits and bobs</em> (and sometimes the<em> banality</em>) of my life &#8211; a sort of online diary. Many of you told me you liked the content and my writing style, so, I carried on! </p>



<p class=" core-paragraph-IlvISuUxyii6lrEqKebBc eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">In later years, it became a really useful reference for settling the occasional &#8216;conversation&#8217; here, where neither of us could remember &#8216;<em>the name of that pub near X?&#8217; </em>or &#8216;<em>when did we first see that film called Y?&#8217;</em>. And, as I see out my 60s (where my brain is slowly turning to mush) it&#8217;s been massively useful in hunting down detail! (Me? Obsessed with detail? Surely not! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />).</p>



<p class=" core-paragraph-xQsA4piIGQsJmUF_dEQ24 eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">In those early days, Blogs were mostly just <em>text</em> with the odd photo (if the paltry internet speeds could handle it). Fast-forward to now, and it&#8217;s clear that blogging is now much more capable. Some of us hung on in there, &#8211; and I&#8217;m glad I did &#8211; but there doesn&#8217;t appear to be so many of us around in 2024! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f632.png" alt="😲" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. </p>



<p class=" core-paragraph-ISc0K0nrUiw9QLMIaBnlG eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">From that <a href="https://stevepalmertheblogger.com/2004/05/23/first-blog/">very first Post on Sunday, May 22nd 2004 at 10:10 am</a>, consisting of just SEVEN words, in 20 years, a lot has changed in my world of blogging. </p>



<p class=" core-paragraph-c_znsrEDFv1bOtv701OwP eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">In that time, I&#8217;ve taken on some challenges! In January 2019, I swapped blogging <em>platforms</em> (Blogger to WordPress) AND a few years ago, changed <em>hosting providers</em> too! Ooo, I do enjoy pain! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. Swapping <em>platforms</em> is most definitely NOT for the faint-hearted, and it tested <em>all</em> of my techy-nouse &#8211; and some! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1fae8.png" alt="🫨" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. I changed <em>provider</em>s a few years ago because the original hosts &#8211; IONOS &#8211; corrupted about 15 years&#8217; worth of content and didn&#8217;t feel the need to help me fix it. What&#8217;s their strapline? <em>&#8220;IONOS &#8211; I own this!&#8221; </em>(clearly not!) <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f92c.png" alt="🤬" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f92c.png" alt="🤬" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. Around four months of my life, sorting out THEIR mess, was not my idea of fun.</p>



<p class=" core-paragraph-WyEDELEbfwZx_jpTgOl2h eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">More positively, the new platform has meant I could &#8216;up the content&#8217; in terms of detail and functionality. Oh! And in the spirit of<em> &#8216;no pain no gain&#8217;</em>, I even managed to seriously break my Blog on more than one occasion, requiring my new provider to fix things (thanks <em>Matt, Matthew, Rick and Jonathan</em> at <a href="https://www.websitedesign.co.uk/">WDL</a>). WDL have turned out to be massively supportive on a day-to-day basis too, and I can&#8217;t praise this small organisation from Colchester highly enough! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44d.png" alt="👍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44d.png" alt="👍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44d.png" alt="👍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44d.png" alt="👍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44d.png" alt="👍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p class=" core-paragraph-fP_a4iwLKHBvw32BxygdB eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">The result? These days, the platform is stable, and I&#8217;ve become far more knowledgeable about how it all works &#8211; and that&#8217;s also been good for keeping my brain active. Having now published over 3000 Posts and despite the risk of pushing your boredom threshold too far (but no doubt helping with your insomnia!) many of you have been with me since the start &#8211; thanks again! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44f.png" alt="👏" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44f.png" alt="👏" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44f.png" alt="👏" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f601.png" alt="😁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p class=" core-paragraph-v0w5eU5s-FYDJr2slooTP eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">So, a massive <em>&#8216;Cheers!&#8217;</em> for your support over the years. Your readership and your feedback have inspired me and made it all worthwhile!<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44f.png" alt="👏" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44f.png" alt="👏" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. Consequently, I plan to continue for many more years to come! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />.

For a few years now, I&#8217;ve expressed my passion through this Blog.

<p class="core-paragraph-kAJe9fHExVjpyJrwn0DOS eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">The trouble is, all those pictures had (unbeknown to me) been gradually heading towards my <em>allowed limit</em> for the <em>number of files</em> I can store (as you can see below!). Not quite sure why the limit is exactly  <strong>262,144</strong> files, but there you go! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f914.png" alt="🤔" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />.  I could have ignored it for a while, but there were signs that all was not well when images refused to upload and the Blog started to become unstable.</p>

<p class="core-paragraph-5newnmGN-xfZG9Sz3FXXI eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core"><br>A quick call to IONOS revealed that the only route was to <em>&#8216;upgrade my package&#8217; – at</em> a cost of course! Kerchinnngggg! That <em>wasn&#8217;t </em>an option given that the price would have been close to 5 times what I&#8217;m now paying per month. The solution was beyond my techy expertise, but I was determined not to use such a big chunk of my State Pension to get it fixed.</p>

<p>Phew! After another <i>very</i> techy week problem-solving, I <i>think</i> things are now back to some state of normality with my Blog posts.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s taken far too many <del>hours</del> <del>days</del> weeks getting it all working again &#8211; and I hope I never have go through all this again! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f92c.png" alt="🤬" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;">The Short Version</span></h3>
<p>It&#8217;s now working! If you read my blogs-posts on the big social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Tumblr etc, etc), then it&#8217;s no change for you &#8211; you&#8217;ll see my posts there as normal.</p>
<p>However, I know a few of you access my Blogs <i>directly</i> at https://blog.StevePalmer.com, and there&#8217;s now a slightly different web-address:</p>
<p>https://blog<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>s</strong></span>.StevePalmer.com. Click <a href="https://blogs.stevepalmer.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HERE</a> to see them.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;">The Long Version</span></h3>
<p><span id="more-3786"></span></p>
<p>Those that know me, know that I love to blog – mostly inconsequential stuff, but I&#8217;m told my ramblings are (occasionally) <i>humorous</i> and sometimes even <i>helpful</i>, (especially when I&#8217;m bleating on about restaurants that don&#8217;t get the basics right as well as our regular globetrotting).</p>
<p>If I can&#8217;t blog, I&#8217;m a grumpy bugger (just ask Ann), so when a long-established major blogging platform goes bad, it&#8217;s best just to stay clear of me for a bit!</p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s the problem? Well, if you missed all my torment over the past month, it&#8217;s all Google&#8217;s fault (well, mostly!)</p>
<p>My then blogging-platform (&#8216;Blogger&#8217; from Google) started to object to <i>any</i> photographs being added using <i>the</i> offline-editor &#8216;<a href="https://openlivewriter.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Open Liver Writer</a>&#8216; &#8211; OLW &#8211; (yep, it&#8217;s the one that&#8217;s been my go-to editing-tool for over 15 years now, more-or-less without issue).</p>
<p>No warning or explanation as to exactly what was wrong &#8211; and because OLW&#8217;s development is now maintained by a group of global <i>volunteers</i>, the only fixes were when they get the time to look at it &#8211; which, given they&#8217;ve all got day-jobs, and are spread across dozens of countries, means &#8216;not very often&#8217;.</p>
<p>Three weeks on, and some Bloggers are <i>still</i> struggling with it all. There IS now a workaround, thanks to said volunteers, but it&#8217;s a bit of a faff and also makes blogging more time-consuming</p>
<p>&#8230;and the kicker is: the fix doesn&#8217;t seem to work for everyone! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f620.png" alt="😠" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>And just to push the stress to the <i>next</i> level, it&#8217;s all going to fail<i> again</i> in March 2019, when Google finally pulls the plug on some crucial APIs to do with managing its photos. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f616.png" alt="😖" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Seriously? It&#8217;s just too much hassle to stick with something that&#8217;s as unusable as it is currently &#8211; and, given that we all now know another &#8216;fail&#8217; is imminent &#8211; a more <i>permanent</i> <i>and</i> <i>reliable</i> solution is needed.</p>
<p>And the solution? After a lot of thought, carefully weighing up the pros and cons, I have decided to <i>completely</i> &#8216;jump ship&#8217; and shift everything to a competitor&#8217;s platform. And, in doing-so, it&#8217;s stretched <i>every</i> inch of my technical ability. I really didn&#8217;t want to do something this drastic, but in the end, I think I&#8217;ll look back on all of this in years-to-come as a somewhat painful, but ultimately <i>correct</i> decision.</p>
<p>Too drastic? These days, surely there&#8217;s a simple button to press somewhere, that seamlessly &#8216;moves&#8217; all the data from one blogging platform to another? Well there is &#8211; sort of! (hurrah!) but it&#8217;s not perfect (boo!) &#8211; and a lot of tinkering is required after the jump.</p>
<p>That jump has taken almost a month of my time trying to fix it all &#8211; so good job I&#8217;ve not got a proper job then!</p>
<p>After a shed-load of graft, I&#8217;ve now managed to import <i>15 years</i> of posts from Blogger (all 3288 of them!) to their new home, and although <del>some</del> <i>many</i> needed a bit of TLC, <i>all</i> the content and <i>most</i> of their layout seems to have been preserved. PHEW! It was my biggest worry that the appearance would suffer.</p>
<p>The added challenge was to preserve all the historical Google search data, so that anyone using Google to find the Blogs would still be able to get to them &#8211; now that was a REAL challenge!</p>
<p>Going forward, it&#8217;s &#8216;Bye-bye Google Blogger&#8217; as my Blog-posts are now managed courtesy of their biggest rival &#8211; <i>WordPress</i> &#8211; and I&#8217;m already seeing some benefits of this more up-to-date platform. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Gotta love technology! Just when you think you have it mastered, it throws in a curved ball to remind you who&#8217;s <i>really</i> in charge! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f620.png" alt="😠" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m now off for a very long lie-down!</p>
