Not a diary, but a diary of errors

I was told today in a forum, quite rightly, that a diary online should be interesting and full of anecdotes.  Perhaps about my dogs, or the British way of life. Perhaps they are right, but this is written not for anyone else to read precisely, but more for me to exorcise my demons. I mean, I look around my room, cluttered and totally unorganised, and realise THAT is who I am in my mind.  Totally disjointed and not all in the right place.  At work, with-it and quite clever, in an unassuming way, but at home completely doolally and not all there. Can we really be two people at once?  I think far more of us are than are not.  We all LIKE to think we are clever, attractive, liked, professional... or whatever the going thing is for today.... but in reality most of us are just muddling through from day to day hoping it turns out okay in the end.

I did think about just giving up, but it is not in my nature.  The more people try to stop me doing something the more determined I am to do it.  So the past few days have been spent trying to rebuild.  I am nowhere near done yet but it does look like a proper site again.... sort of A friend had her website on the same server and they half wiped that also, so I took the opportunity and bought her a domain and created her a whole new website on a different server.  Hopefully she will now be safe :-) The hosts, Stablehost, who have been pretty much a nightmare since I went there, just kept telling me it was not THEIR fault the server was insecu

Here is a workaround. To create a secure site on our own domain when pointing to a premium site using custom domains First of all create a new free account on https://cloudflare.com Click Add site It will say We’re querying your DNS records Press Next Click on the FREE plan Then, Confirm Plan A popup will ask if you are sure. Confirm You are taken to a page of details about your site. You need to change the A and CNAME areas First create new ones Use your own domain where mine is, obviously When you have added those two, delete the other A and CNAME fields that were there previously Log into your domain host Under DNS go to NAMESERVERS and change the nameservers to The first one ruth.ns.cloudflare.com Second one seth.ns.cloudflare.com Now all you h
