The gorgeous May Blog Train has left the station. Here's a sample and the link

Ooooh... I haven't really cared for the last few, but this one might be worth the time. I sort of abandoned it because it just got too big. But this one is tempting.

Thanks Beth!

You might want to wait a few days on this one because of the webhosting snafu that's playing out. Several of these links don't work because of it.

[jfugina]

Oh that's right! I forgot all about that. It's like half the digi scrap world all uses the same host. Quite a bummer.

Because of it, I'm having download withdrawals.

[bethrich]

Oh, no, don't tell me! I was all set to crank up the downloading tomorrow. I only grabbed a few the other day. What's up with the hosting?

[pbp908]

The webhost of a lot of digi scrap shops went down the first of the week, telling the owners it was a security issue. Then out of the blue Saturday they found out that the host has gone out of business and someone else has purchased the company. Probably more like bailed them out, but I can't confirm it. Now the new hosting company is slowly getting everyone back up, but Divine Digital and a lot of her designers are still down, and quite a few of them have contributed to the blog train. Royanna was told at first by the new group that they could get them back up but that all of her data was lost. Now they're saying they can recover everything, but it looks like sometime tomorrow afternoon before they're back in business. This is really a low blow for her - about six months ago their server crashed - virus - and they lost everything. She's just in the past couple of months got everything up and running again. I hate to see this happen to her.

I feel bad for Royanna too. And they are all just at the mercy of their hosts, I'm sure. I know all too well what that's like. For me, it's bad enough when the forum goes wonky or the home page is hacked. I don't even want to imagine what it would be like to have a store down - where people are actually losing income as a result.

[bethrich]

Wow, absolutely that's a low blow. I hope they're able to recover everything.
