Back in Business! Website is back up and running!

My website is FINALLY back up and running! Finally, I'm rid of Tripod/Lycos. Finally, I have customer support/service.

Would you believe that GoDaddy has their customer service phone number plastered at the top of every one of their pages? And the longest I've ever had to wait was 6 1/2 minutes! Sure beats the hell out an email that says "Someone will get back to you within 72 hours" - which usually turns into about 5 days.

And so, with the help of website-maven Audrey Shaffer, www.lindajhutchinson.com is back in business!

With all of the hubbub, along with all of the meds/pain, even though I started out at The Writer's Chatroom site clicking on its GoDaddy affiliate link, I'm thinking that somehow I managed to get on the phone with a tech (remember, that they have phone support!!) and TWC didn't get the credit for that. Ticks me off, but that's what happens when you have major surgery and your website shuts down 9 days later.

I'll make it up to Audrey with a donation. In fact, if you've had the opportunity to attend chats at TWC, or you've gotten great advice from The Spotlight, please make it a point to drop by and make a donation. It's that time of year when Audrey gets hit with all the renewal costs for the website and chatroom and newsletter/announcements and the bills for all of it just get bigger every year. (It's also that time of year when she begins tearing out her hair trying to get all of her clients ready for tax time.)

So, take a look at the new stuff at my website, and hit the donation button at TWC. I know at least two people who would be very happy if you did.
