AndyBox.com has moved. During my break from work, I “migrated” the site from my old hosting company to DreamHost.com, a quirky and popular company in California. The migration process did not go smoothly, which is part of the reason you might have seen some weird things on here over the last few days. I have enough web experience to maintain the site and modify it in some ways, but the migration required some steps and knowledge that were well outside my comfort zone.

At one point last night I feared I had lost the site forever and would have to start over. AndyBox.com might seem like just another blog from the outside, but I’ve been running this site since 2001, and I truly pour my soul into it. It’s partly an online journal of my life and partly a way to think through many different questions and topics, some general and some personal. I post stuff on here that I would never tell you directly. Why? Because I love writing and hate talking. Writing frees me to say what I really want to say. Talking forces me to operate without thinking about and refining what I say, making me self-conscious and tight. Reading my blog is one of the best and only ways to really know what makes me tick, because otherwise I probably won’t tell you. The idea of losing all my past posts made for an extremely stressful and unhappy night.

However, after much tinkering, reading, and praying, I finally got the site running again at its new home. We’re still working on a few issues with our email, but everything with the site seems normal. If you notice any problems, PLEASE notify me either via comment or my contact page.
