I came to a final decision at 3.30am that I’ve been pondering on for almost a year now and it affects you and your membership to the Stories 4 Children site.
My hubby was my tech guru for everything on the site and he produced the application form and ability to log in as well as the software. He passed away on 21st December 2022 so I’ve been totally unable to ask for guidance on the things he set up for me.
The webhosts for the site have recently set up the ability to have multiple sites hosted together, so that’s what I’ve done with my personal sites and because the Stories 4 Children site is on a decommissioned server, I haven't been able to access my domain name emails for months on end. I decided in the early hours that I would use the opportunity to migrate the Stories 4 Children site to this new thing along with a new site that I’m starting to create.
Why am I telling you this?
Because when the S4C site is migrated, I will lose the ability to reinstate your membership because it involved databases and PHP and other stuff that I haven’t got the foggiest clue about!
Sooo, starting from when I’ve finished my JanNo24 novel I’m completely removing the members area and it will all be totally free (except for things in the shop) but it means that I’m able to understand how to code things instead of being left floundering if something goes wrong in future or there’s a question about some software or there’s a problem with the site or something else that I haven’t got the first clue about.
The site will still be available (except while it’s
migrating) and I’ll still update it, there just won’t be a members area
any
more. If there's anything you want to keep in the members area, please
make sure you download it before the end of this year as it'll be lost
forever after the migration.
Thank you so much for your faith and support and I’ll see you on the other side of JanNo.
