The Big Switch

Have not blogged in well over a year, however maintained a TypePad account for years which contained many irreplaceable entries. One is my dear mother’s recipe for beet soup. So much to my surprise, when I attempted to access this blog at Typepad, it was inaccessible. Seem like Typepad switched to all HTTPS. As you would expect I initiated a trouble ticket asking for their help. In response they provided instructions that I am sure they understood but were complete gobbledygook to me. A follow up trouble report yielded no response, It was at this point that I suspected all was lost. I did manage to stumble on to a page that downloaded all blog entries. The result was a web page listing that I saved. WordPress is an advertiser on TWIT, and it was there that I learned about its ease of use and benefits. So took a chance and signed up for an account and sent what I thought was a jumbled mess of a Typepad archive file. To my surprise, WordPress produced this site with all my historical blogs. Mom’s beet soup recipe is safe. Thanks WordPress…
