Although I will still post here occasionally, you will find most of my latest posts at my new blog at ricsmo.com.

Due to all of the spammy comments, links in comments are again marked “nofollow.”

Wordpress is neat, but it feels a bit bloated and since I’m learning Rails, it makes sense to move to a blog engine built on that.

What do you think? Should I keep Wordpress, or move to Mephisto or Typo?

Also, is it just me or is this blog loaded with too many ads? I really had not been visiting much until recently and my first reaction was, “What was I thinking?”

…that so many spam bots are interested in linking to this site.

Read my recent post here and look at the pingback from “The best blog about Endodontists” near the bottom of the comments. The interesting thing about that site is that they added content to the excerpt of my post. So, if you happened to be looking for “endodontist” blogs, and need a “Student Credit Card,” head on over!

I apologize for the site being down for a bit. I was in the process of changing hosts and, in my backup, did not realize that this site was using a database from another domain name. Therefore, I didn’t back up this database and accidentally deleted it!

Luckily, though, my former Web host was able to restore it from a backup. I really like my former Web host and have always had great support like this. Why did I change hosts, then?

First, the former host, United Hosting has servers in the UK, which always felt a bit slow. Second, I started my account with them so long ago that I’m really overpaying now. I could have switched to a newer plan, but: Third, I have been getting into Ruby on Rails development and the new host supports Rails development. Expect this blog to be converted to Rails as soon as I learn enough to be able to do it!

So, who is this new host? It’s Site5.
