New Adnil Press Site

Well, I did say that.....

:ibeback:


It's now nearly 2am (much later than I'd intended!), and I've just uploaded the new Adnil Press web-site! :GOAL:


We have a new web host, a new domain name, and a completely new site.


The link is:


Note that there is now a '.au' on the end, although the old website address will still work, as we have a 're-direction' set up.


If anyone has the time or the inclination, I'd appreciate some feedback - please have a 'play' with the new site - add stuff to your 'cart', check out any links, sample pages, etc., and have a general read of the pages.

Given that this site has been built over the past few weeks, pretty much by me and me alone, I'm quite, er... 'google-eyed' :blink: , so don't be surprised if you find some errors - typos or incorrect product descriptions, or some broken links - I've proof-read it as best I can, but as I'm sure you all know, proof-reading your own work is not always successful, and it's easy to overlook something obvious.

The website is easiy updated and changeable, so if you find anything that is not displaying correctly or any other errors, please let me know. I had planned to launch the site on the 20th, so I'm treating the next few days as the 'trial' stage.


For now though, I'm off for some sleep! 'Night all.

There's Good News, and There's Bad News.....

First, the Good News.

1. Whenever someone placed an order through our site, we would copy and past the order onto our business computer, to our database. Therefore, we have a copy of all orders ever placed through the site.

2. As well as putting the products and pricing on our site, we kept a separate price list, which I manually typed up in Word.

3. Most of the blog entries and articles were also typed up and saved in Word before I put them on the site.

4. No delicate information such as credit card details were stored on the site.

5. I have managed to get in and put up a temporary, one-page site - so the inappropriate message on our home page has gone.


Now, the Bad News.

1. Unless my web host can miraculously find a backup of all the files (there is still one, slight glimmer of hope there), the site is gone. The hacker deleting everything.

2. In this case, it means we have no web-site, meaning we will literally have to begin again. That's hundreds of hours of work, gone. I've tried to find the words to describe how I'm feeling about it all - distraught comes to mind, but by no means covers it.


If we do need to start a whole new website, it will take time. One of the reasons we were reducing our stock was because I simply lacked the time to attend to everything. This situation has not changed. If we now need to rebuild and entire site - well, I just do not know when, how, or if this will happen.


Time to take a step back, breathe, and wait a little while.


Linda.

PS. From now on, I'll be using the Adnil Press blog to update anything on this issue - thereby leaving Pillars of Pine as our family blog.
