<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>
<p>PS: Don&#8217;t forget, if you access my Posts directly, their new home is:-</p>

<p class="core-paragraph-CVSE68jG1icxxL0s5IBsY eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">Those that know (and/or live in) the immediate area will already be aware of the crappy internet speed we get locally. For houses that are less than 20 years old, the connection opportunities are very limited. The bad news, looking forward, is there’s no opportunity to have a fibre optic connection installed here either… ever!, as all the big players have confirmed they’ve no plans to expand in this direction.</p>



<p class="core-paragraph-JudlXkLXfKX7Uf7VbNzHc eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">So, the traditional option is to stick with broadband-by-phone-line and ‘enjoy’ speeds of around 0.5-1.0 Mb/sec (that’s sloooooow!)</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image core-image-vmdDO5X198J9R83tbWTYq eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/-7AYEZh4SS04/UQDSLKHQ2KI/AAAAAAAANVc/dIX2NZZ9fi0/wlEmoticon-sadsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" alt="Sad smile"/></figure>



<p class="core-paragraph-Jnt21hgjNMRRihDCid9uy eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">In August last year,&nbsp; I got so fed up with it, I started to look at alternatives, and via a Google search found <a href="https://www.toowaydirect.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ToowayDirect</a>. They provide broadband by <em>satellite</em>, and although the service isn’t good for first-person shoot ‘em ups, and t’s more expensive than traditional methods, it’s great for all other types of broadband usage. I decided to go with them and <a href="https://blog.stevepalmer.com/2012/08/the-only-way-is-tooway.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a week or so later</a>, we were up and running.</p>



<p class="core-paragraph-DxEyaBfU1j4lWBDLvRKe2 eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">Almost six months on and the service has been perfect &#8211;&nbsp; we’ve had only one outage &#8211; and the speeds are just so consistent. None of this ‘it’ll get slower as more people use it’ malarkey, just a reliable signal all day and everyday!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image core-image-dq5VlHflaK4bKLTBHAjpc eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh3.ggpht.com/-gsheMvjPMtg/UQDSMkPshhI/AAAAAAAANVk/Np3a_R1ZvtI/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" alt="Smile"/></figure>



<p class="core-paragraph-0D9hnRef51xRVmxiXypx7 eplus-wrapper" data-block-type="core">As a bit of a treat to myself, I decided to upgrade the speed package. We started off on the ‘8Mb/sec’ on installation, moved to 12Mb/sec shortly afterwards, and yesterday I went for their 16Mb/sec package. I carried out a few speed checks first thing this morning and the results looked impressive &#8211; in fact during one test, the results showed 20.5 Mb/sec!</p>
