    Thanks everyone!

    Podz, I went with asmallorange and put you down as my referer. They look like exactly what I’ve been looking for. I did a lot of discussion with them before I decided. LP used to be like that 5 or 6 years ago and I think they just got too big for themselve the last year. This feels so much more comfortable and they were extremely helpful with helping me move everything over.

    Of course, I’ll be sorting things out for a few days but most of the heavy duty work is done and I paid for a whole year what I was paying for a month with LP. Now I get to demand my not-satisfied refund from LP.

    I don’t really want or need a dedicated box. I don’t even use a gig of disk space and less than 15 gig of bandwidth a month. LP just got greedy and pressured me.

    Now I can spend that extra money on spoiling my cats and my new puppy. 😀

    So no one with really girly/feminine designs?

    OK I’ve turned off the ping from post thing and will test it out when I get back into my regular blogging routine and report back as to the speed.

    My blogs are completely moved now. I will say that they click through faster on the dedicated server. I will also say that tech support through the dedicated server support line is so much better and different. What a strange difference money and 24 hours makes.

    I can host like 900 WPs on this new server though. LOL

    Looking throught the plugins, the only one I saw that should affect posting is the email notification as it’s the only one triggered then. I deactivated it and made some minor changes to a few posts and saved them. On a dedicated server with nothing to compete with the CPU for attention, saving took WP2.02 around a minute for each post. That seems to be rather lengthy, doesn’t it?

    Oh, Joan, I did tag my comments on to someone else’s post over on Lunarpages forum. Then I went and vented on my disappearing blog. 😉

    All but one of my blogs seems to be back. One of them seems to be trying to access urls on the old server — errors can be seen here. As you can see, in the conversion, Lunarpages, changed my account from exit-232 to exit232 and the website is trying to access in both places. Very weird.

    Nope. Haven’t posted there and I’m sure I’d not have nice things to say at this point because I’ve been hung up on, lied to, and treated in a very unprofessional way in the last 24 hours. In fact, I’m very close to calling the several businesses I refered to them in the last few weeks and suggesting to them that they go elsewhere at this point, which is a shame because I’ve been with them for years and had excellent service up until yesterday, but this has been utterly ridiculous. A total lack of communication. Techs who “can’t” talk to customers on the phone? No talk with the customer as to timelines? I mean, at this point, I’m paying a lot of money, I expect to be treated with respect.

    There is a plugin called multi-icon which does this. I had to tweak it because I use multi-categories per post. My blog is down right now, but if you check back in a few hours, Lunarpages might have released it from detainment camp: The Naked Truth I found all of my icons at istockphoto.com

    Well, I don’t want free webhosting. I do a lot of other stuff on the web. I just happen to have a lot of WP blogs too. The WP’s just got to be php memory hogs on the last upgrade.

    The irony is that the main reason I needed to switch from greymatter was because every time I save a post it was causing this nasty memory suck on the system because I have so many posts.

    But half of this was added after the upgrade and it’s been slow since the upgrade.

    Hmmm…I’ve been eyeing up WPStats. I may have to play with it tonight. It looks like it does a lot.

    Oh, nice. You know I’ve been doing google searches for this for a couple of weeks.

    If I didn’t already have a fever, my cheeks would be as red as my hair in embarrasment. 🙂

    Oh, I see…duh. The “using thumbnail” is clickable off and on. I get it.

    Did I mention I bleach streaks of my hair blonde? That must be it.

    I have been struggling with this myself. I have found the only way to get the full scale photo is to go into the html and delete the .thumbnail part of the name. Is that the only way? Is there no way to edit the properties of an image?

    herold – I haven’t ever emailed everyone from the page, but it does resolve the delay which is what I was trying to fix. I know someone else asked me for the fix and used it to his satisfaction. If it fixes your issue too, will you come back and let me know?

    I honestly don’t think there isn’t a plugin I haven’t gone digging in at some point for tweaking or curiousity. Unforturnately, I’m not not clear on my PHP yet. 😉
