This is an exciting time for my main websites as we have just been transferred to a new dedicated server.
It was supposed to be all done and dusted on Friday, but the sites (being quite large) took such a long time to migrate that they had to to finish it off today, Monday.
So this is the second time I have had to load this post up to the site – if you have got the email version twice – I’m sorry!
You should find that the site loads quicker now as we now have a whizzy new dedicated server!
