how do you like my new theme? 
in the process of trying to save myself some much needed extra cash, i switched hosts. dathorn is wonderful and my support tickets were all answered in under 1 hour. plus my sites have never experience any downtown that i know of. so they’ve kinda spoiled me a bit. in all my years of being hosted, they are number one on my list. the only reason i left is because i was paying $13.50 and will now be paying $5 a month instead. i can do other things with that spare change. 
all my sites are now on a shared hosting plan of 1500mb of space and 10gb of bandwidth. more than enough for my sites. there’s no whm panel but i’m learning how to use addon domains in cpanel and it’s super easy! our new host is knownhost and they have very good reviews at WHT so i don’t feel so bad. they’d answered my 2 support tickets in less than 1 hour too!
cafechi is an addon domain on my plan. i have an older version of wordpress so after transferring my databases over, i proceed to upgrade the old version. i immediately regretted it as it totally messed up my flexible upload and i LOVE that thing. no matter what i did FU was just not working the way it should. and by that i mean it’s suppose to resize my images, with one click it’s suppose to send the image to my post with the thumbnail, etc. it wasn’t doing that. it was just giving me a link to this tiny image! not cool!!!
even my lightbox script was acting weird. so i searched on how to downgrade to the old version. i found you can’t do that. so what did i ended up doing? i downloaded the older version, backup my old mysql databases and re-uploaded everything over again. fun huh?
with abated breath, i signed in and voila! it worked! i was back to my previous wordpress version and flexible upload was working like it should. same with lightbox.
long story short, newer doesn’t always mean better.
did they move all your wp files over to the new server? and gratz!! it’s good to save some money, that’s another reason why im thinking about switching over to wp.com blog.

yes they did on my vicki-zhao.com website since that was the only one i asked for and it’s the biggest.
i moved over this blog myself. it wasn’t hard. it was just that upgrading wp messed up my plugins. :grr:
yea, i need to save some money and since this one fits and is so much cheaper, there was no need for me pay more. the hubby’s happy too.
