At long last we seem to have the blogs operational on the new host.

In the end, it turned out to be a Wordpress issue after all and needed an htaccess file to be installed. Quite why it wasn’t installed automatically, I’ve no idea.

Oh well.

We’re in the process of moving to a new hosting service which is causing a lot more grief than it should be, hence long gaps in the posts here..

What’s happened is that the new hosting service uses MySQL 4.1 whilst the old one uses 4.0. That shouldn’t really be a problem but it is because 4.1 partly implements the Unicode character set whilst 4.0 was merrily using the normal Latin character set. In that I’ve only ever typed Latin characters here the Latin set was obviously fine for me and the new one has just created a whole bunch of problems when I type anything that’s not part of the normal alphabet (which, of course, includes all the punctuation marks).

We think we’re nearing a solution to it all, but only time will tell.
