I moved my site hosting and domain name management to FatCow.com from goDaddy.com. I did this for a few reasons.
The first reason, the control panel for goDaddy has been getting worse and worse and less and less user friendly. Almost to the point of not being able to find anything.
Second, the speed in which my pages were loading was terrible. So slow, even for a simple joomla page, it should not take 20 seconds to load.
Thirdly and probably the most important one is that goDaddy support(ed) SOPA. Which if you are an internet or technology company, you should not be supporting SOPA which in my opinion would hinder at technology advancement.
Fourth and Fifth, FatCow.com has great customer service. With the little that I have interacted already, they are friendly and professional. And their datacenter is 100% green wind power. Just trying to save the planet the best way that I know how.

Website has been updated again. This time to Joomla 2.5, Phoca Gallery, and JComments. All the upgrades went very smooth with no problem what so ever. Glad to have the website able to allow commenting again. JComments was finally upgraded, took about a year, but well worth it.

The website is up and running again, almost in full functionality. I have to get a few more components upgraded and get them working with the new Joomla 1.7. I am liking it so far. Joomla 1.7 is more robust from 1.5 version. Like it very much.
As for my Photography, I have decided that I will only upload a picture a day from my entire photo collection. This way I will only be uploading my best pictures. In my previous Gallery setups, I would upload photos from gatherings for all the years. I will not be putting up my old images, just one a day.

Please mind the mess. I am working on upgrading from joomla 1.5 to 1.7. Very interested and excited for the updates in the new system. Very clean looking. Most of the stuff is working, except of my gallery, which I will be reworking this and I might be only posting an image a day.

The gallery section of the site are slowly coming back online. I have decided to keep the same images for now and go through them later to add/remove any as needed. I might decide down the road to do a different type of layout or daily upload of an image, but for now the same as they have been in the past. I will also load the rest of 2009 and start 2010 photos. I have been bad at uploading for the past year. Never had and free time or I just did not make time to upload new photos. I hope that I will upload new photos on a more regular basis in the future to keep my site up to date.
So come back often for new images. I will also be Facebook-ing a random image daily.
