It seem that to some people, common courtesy does not extend itself to the internet.

Earlier this month I was surfing the web looking for information/instructions on how to install roll roofing. I have a gazebo with roll roofing that needs to be replaced.

First site that comes up in Google in Roofer911.com. Good site with lots of info. But when I tried to get more info, I found that they had a menu section with links that do not work. All the links were trying to finds the files loaded on someone’s computer instead of on the web server.
With some cut & paste action I got to the pages I was looking for, but thought I should fire off a quick email letting them know of the links and how to correct. Common Courtesy!

Creative Compulsions is back up and running and stronger than ever.

Upgraded to a newer stronger server with a dedicated IP and reseller hosting. I am now able to offer professional webhosting to all my clients. However, I am not a hosting company, so this is only an options for my clients, so I can keep it small and low cost.

Thats it. Just a small but important update.

Actually more like abuse of the word free. I see the word “free” being used flippantly everyday. Several times a day.

I work at a job where I view retail ads from around the world. Often I see the word free in the ads. Then reading the ad, I see it costs X amount of $$$. How exactly is it “free” if it cost you money?

I do not know the reason for this, how to correct it, or how long it will last. But for some reason beyond my comprehension the new host for Creative Compulsions is blocking IP addresses at random and temporarily. Incredibly annoying and tiresome.

There are 2 work-arounds for this issue, until it is resolved.

1) If you have a dynamic IP, renew it. Usually just log off the net and log back on and you will be issued a new IP. Then try the site again, and all will be well. Annoying, but it works.

2) If you have a Static IP or do not want to renew your dynamic IP, wait about 12+ hours and everything will be fine.

I do not know how many people this will affect, it may only affect just me. If you have no issues with the site, ignore this.

Well it seems everything went FAR smoother than I had planned.
I had a slight issue with email not working. I could not send or recieve any email from Friday night untill a couple of hours agao. Other than that, it was perfect. Probably did not even notice the switch.

Everyone please go check your files (if you have any) and ensure everything is as it should be. If not, email me and I will look into it asap.

I have made a few site changes as well, so read on to see what happened with the upgrade.

News Blog
I have switched my news update page to a blog format. This will also be used to post all newsletters. I will still send out the newsletter, but will also post it on the blog as well. Have a look at it here:
http://www.creativecompulsions.com/blog

Added to Portfolio
I have added a few more recent samples to my online portfolio.

Rate Changes
I have made some slight changes to my rates. New rates are effective as of now, all previous contracts are still at the quoted rate.

Hosting
I am consider a new option to my business. I am considering offer my own hosting plans for my clients who are looking for it. This is not the same as what I currently do by just allocating some web space. This will be a full hosting service for clients. They will get all the options of having their own hosting account including the ability to add email addresses, FTP accounts, as well as all the many benefits of premade web scripts

If anyone is interested in this, let me know. If there is enough interest I will set it up.

Thats it, thats all.
Thanks to everyone, and I am pretty sure this will be the last newsletter for sometime.

Myles
