A world where some people go naked at all times.
My site isn’t working too well this morning, loading very slow or not at all intermittently. My host says it’s not really anything wrong with my site but rather one of their servers being overloaded, which they’re working on.
Not a great sign for my new host but hopefully they get it fixed soon.
Edit: It does seem to be working better now.
Edit2: Now it’s having issues again. *sigh* Probably means no further updates today, hopefully it’ll be working better tomorrow.
So, here we are. But the transfer hasn’t been completely seamless. Some things broke. And some just haven’t been set up yet. Another important note is that the address is now just nudeworldorder.net/ not nudeworldorder.net/blog/
Update: Almost everything is now working! (But let me know if you find a problem.)
I’m now starting in earnest on transferring the blog to a new host. Anything posted after this (including comments) will most likely not be carried over. But if all goes well it might be completed in a day or so. If the process drags I might do limited updates here, but we’ll see. Hopefully we’ll be back to normal pretty quick.
Here’s the story on the maintenance. I’ve successfully dealt with a couple things, but I’ve made little headway on the biggest issue, which is that my blog is once again outgrowing it’s hosting package, specifically regarding its drive space allowance. It’s not critical yet, but I see where the trajectory is going. Compounding the issue is that my host recently (and suddenly) raised prices and made some other changes for the worse. Previously when I would contact support I felt like I was dealing with competent people who actually wanted to help, now I feel like I’m getting the brush off. In short, I’m looking to switch hosts again. I’ve done it once before and it went pretty well, but it’s certainly a little daunting. For better or worse I already paid my current host for 3 months just recently so there’s not much time pressure.
So, here’s the question: Should I press on with this now, leaving the blog on pause (perhaps into early next year despite what I said earlier), or resume normal operation for now, and tackle this again in a month or two?
Hey guys, now that the holidays are mostly behind us, I’m gonna work on some maintenance I’ve been putting off. The blog won’t be offline (at least not for any extended period), but for a mix of technical and time/energy reasons, I’m going to pause new posts for a bit while I work on some things. I expect we’ll be back to normal by the end of the year at the latest.
Update: There’s more work to be done still. But since I planned to share these video clips on a weekly basis, I’m gonna go ahead and post one of those.
So, this morning I noticed comments had stopped working. I submitted a support ticket, but ironically it magically resolved itself before they could do anything.
So who knows what’s going on now. But at the moment it does appear to be working again.
Edit: Okay, I’m gonna unpin this shortly since it seems the problem went away, however mysteriously. Let me know if you run into issues making comments again. (Using the contact form, email or discord, since obviously you can’t make a comment about it…)
Did you know there are lesbians in these captions? Shocking, right? Maybe not, but they never had a tag before, and now they do, thanks to the hard work of a Discord user.
Going forward I’ll try and apply the tag to new posts that fit (feel free to remind me if I miss some).
For a long time, spammers seemed to ignore the Submit form so it didn’t need one, but suddenly I’m getting several junk messages a day through there (and all without images too, not exactly sure how they do it) but anyway I’ve added a captcha to hopefully stop this. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Working on fixing some captcha problems. There are a few issues, them being needlessly case-sensitive, the fact that I have to use two different captchas in different places etc. Currently looking at a minor issue related to dark mode.
Alright, I think that one was a little too subtle, the joke was that the captcha has broken so the words spilled out or something… but I’m not sure everyone could see it. Anyways, it’s still on my radar to actually improve but I haven’t found a good solution yet. Well, there’s one change I can make right now, I’ve switched the comment captcha from letters to numbers so you won’t need to worry about capitalization.
Got a Christmas caption? Now would be the time. And to help improve the chances it actually gets used this year I’ve added a new feature.
The submission forms now have a “Holiday” checkbox. If everything works like it should, these will be flagged for my attention in my inbox. Using it for other time-sensitive captions—like those about I donno, elections, or major sporting events—is fine, but please don’t use it without a legit reason.
