Before I go any further, I’m going to take a moment to explain why I am writing my regularly scheduled Crochetbug.com blog post on Medium.

Bluehost down

Bluehost, the company that provides web hosting service to my crochet blog, did a migration on Friday that ended up taking down my entire blog — all nine plus years — and while the support staff at Bluehost is unfailingly polite, they have done absolutely nothing to fix the catastrophe they created. It has been over 48 hours since their migration took Crochetbug off the internet, and there is still no answer as to when (or if) Bluehost will ever get my blog back up.

In the meantime, my IT team (aka husband) is working to resolve this without the help of Bluehost. But the fundamental problem is one that Bluehost created and has not/will not fix which means moving all of the data to another hosting option. Because my IT team is so good about backing up data, it can (and will) be done, but because I have been blogging for over nine years, so it isn’t a speedy process.

But I’m not going to let a little thing like a catastrophic failure of a web hosting service that won’t respond to calls for help get in the way of blogging about my 2019 New Mexico State Fair effort, so without any further ado, we resume our regularly scheduled topic.
