Just a quick note to let you know that I am in the process of changing web hosting companies and as a result, there may be service interruptions here. I will try to keep any interruptions to a minimum and I apologize in advance for any problems that might occur as a result of these improvements.
I am working hard to provide you with a better visitor experience and I know that this change will make your future visits more enjoyable. During the past couple of months my current web hosting company experienced a series of outages that prevented access to my blog for hours at a time.
I have made a careful decision about the web hosting company I will be using in the future and I am pleased with my choice and I’m confident they offer a superior product. I want to provide you with the best experience possible, which is why I’m making these changes. This message will disappear once everything is in place and working correctly. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Just a quick update to provide you with details about the progress of the server migration. All files have now been transferred to the new server and I am currently in the process of fine tuning settings and I expect to complete final tests over the next couple of days. After that I will be in a position to return to daily updates.
The reason this transition is taking so long is because I’m only online between 1-2 hours each day during the week because I work full-time and I’m making sure that this transition goes as smoothly as possible. Thank you for your patience as this transition is completed. I am confident you will be pleased with a faster and more reliable server. ~ Brad.

Hey guys,
I wanted to provide you with another update, as you are probably wondering what’s going on and where things are at. There has been a lot of work happening behind the scenes, but the good news is that all tests have now been completed and there has been 0% server downtime, which I am very pleased about. The blog is now operating on the new server and you may have already noticed an improvement in the speed.
As there haven’t been any posts for the past few days, I am now in the process of putting together posts featuring new content, which will soon start appearing very soon. The great news is that my new server is able to cope with hosting video clips, so you will see me start including video clips with some posts. Not every post will include a video clip, only selected scenes, but I will try to incorporate as many as possible for you to watch.
I also need to make some adjustments to each post so that the blog fits in with the new design of ten posts per page, rather than the current five posts per page. This means that I have to edit over 500 posts manually and this will take me a considerable amount of time. I will do this in the background so you won’t notice changes immediately, as they will be gradual.
Hopefully in a week I will have everything positioned the way I want it to be and things can get back to normal again. Thank you for your patience during this time, I really appreciate it and I’m sure you will be pleased with the results.
~ Brad.
