CHANGING COMPUTERS TOMORROW – FINGERS CROSSED

Posted on July 30, 2003 by Dave Pollard
Tomorrow (Thursday) I trade in my PC for a new one. Lawrence Lee at Radio Userland quickly and expertly (through the Userland Discussion Forum) answered my question about how to ensure my blog remains intact. In short: no need to reinstall as long as the drive\path doesn’t change. Just move the entire \Program Files\Radio Userland folder (software, backup files, www folder and all) to the same place on the new drive. I’m backing up just in case. Probably no post Thursday as I make the transition. See you Friday.

    Good luck! Better make a small offering to the demigods and demigodesses of electronics, maybe check the feng shui of your environ before you start. Can’t hurt, might help. ;-)

    Good luck with it, and I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the kind words about my site. There’s a heck of a lot more info here though. Impressed!

    Well, I’m back on the new machine. Now the scary part– booting up Userland and trying a test post. Here goes…
