It's been nearly 24 hours of crazyness but I think it's finally done.

After nearly a two week wait for iTunes to approve Before the Dawn, I decided to do a little checking around as to what the problem may be. Turns out the bloody feed didn't validate. More reading uncovered a problem with the feed which seems to stem from the fact that we were hosting the show on a free Blogger account. After a little hair pulling and mulling over the possible ways around the problem, I decided to bite the bullet and buy some web hosting.

After a bit of research, I decided on Host Papa, a Canadian company which prides itself on being "Green". They're packages seem reasonable, they've come very highly rated and to boot, they were very friendly and helpful with the initial set-up. The process of re-directing DNS servers, installing and customizing WP and getting everything transferred over took much less time than I expected and rather than being up and running next week, we're up and running now - less than 24 hours since I made the decision to move. As a nice bonus, disruption on the domain was minimal (10 minutes at the most). I must admit, I'm very impressed with myself.

Though to the reader the site looks almost identical (just a few minor differences I doubt anyone will notice), the back-end is completely different. Thankfully, I'm fairly familiar with WP and things are running fairly smoothly now. There are still a few minor glitches to deal with (mostly on the theming side) but otherwise, we're set to go. The new, now validated feed has been re-submitted to iTunes and I'm hoping they'll respond before we record the show on Saturday.

Something to consider now is that this new host allows for unlimited domains which means I could finally make use of one of the domains I've had registered and bookmarked for a personal site for over a year. We'll see if I finally break down and convert!

Pretty cool news. Blog celebrity Darren Barefoot has dubbed my movie site "My new favourite movie blog".

Sorry kids. No music today as the site is down. Does anyone out there actually ever listen to the music? Just curious.

Pounding headache today. I've been using my HeadOn (of "I hate your commercials but I LOVE your product" fame) but because it's a lack of sleep type of headache, it's not doing much good. No "America's Next Top Model" for me tonight. I'm going to bed.

I'll leave you with my guilty read. Offensive, irreverent and I just can't help myself. Does anyone have a guilty read that they'd like to share?
