Team Kleibrink

I have decided to close down the “Team Gushue” blog and the “Team Kleibrink” blog … and combine all of its contents with the root http://CurlingBlog.com

 Once all the information has been transferred and consolidated .. this blog will be deleted.

Thank-you for your patience and understanding

Curling Blog - Team Kleibrink

We have now completed Stage #1 by moving four of our blogs from host provider #2 to our host provider #3. These blogs includes:

Curling Blog
Team Gushue
Team Kleibrink
and
HART-Empire Network

We haved moved to a new server with more ram, dual xeon 3Ghz processors, and more diskspace … so .. if you are experiencing ANY problems, please let us know by email to … hart (at) PetLvr (dot) com

Thank-you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience. More details of the move and reasons can be found on HART-Empire.com and instructions how I moved these blogs will be found on 1800HART.com/blog/

Greetings ..

After the BDO Classic Canadian Open, I will be moving the following blogs … Curling Blog Team Gushue and Team Kleibrink .. to a different host provider. I just have not been happy with the speed and uptimes for these blogs.

I can’t say how frustrating it is for me in the mornings when the server is at it’s slowest times, or when I have problems posting because I can’t connect to my own server. This blog sucks! It takes too long to load!

I was planning on moving these blogs on January 3, 2006 and have been testing / moving a few smaller blogs for practice. There was a small glitch because of the way the underlying mySql database engine that keeps track of all the blogging information - are speaking two different languages (InnoDB vs MyISAM). The new blogs are now up and running, but they did take longer to restore than I had expected they would. I do not want to run the risk of unforeseen problems happening before the BDO Classic Canadian Open, an event we will be watching closely!

This is how I will be proceeding the move to differerent servers …

January 9, 2005 - After posting the final results of the curling event, I will be changing the NameServers of the domain CurlingBlog.com to the new host provider and will stop posting.

This will take between 1-2 days before it kicks in, as some will be able to see the old site - and some will be able to see the new site. As soon as the name servers are changed, complete backups of the database and wordpress files will be moved. As soon as the new site comes in effect in my location, the site will be down for testing for 1 day to restore the information and test to be sure everything works correctly.

January 11, 2006 - Hopefully, I will post an entry letting you know that everything has been successfully moved and the Curling Blog is now active on the new and faster servers. If there are any problems during the move, they will be posted on the HART-Empire.com blog.

I apologize in advance for any downtimes or server problems that will be occuring in the meantime, and hope you stick around!

This post is simultaneously being posted on all the Curling Blog sites and at HART-Empire Network.

Take care.
