Moving Out This Weekend

We went through our finances just the other day and realised that we are spending too much on a lot of miscellaneous stuff that we need to cut down. One of the things that we decided that needed to be cut down is the Lovarian site.

At the moment, we are paying for two webhostings (the current Lovarian site and the our new personal Palabok.com site). Although the newer one is still pretty bare, we are probably going to find that hosting much more useful in the long term than the PHP-only powered Lovarian site.

So what will happen is that tomorrow, I'll be moving any moveable files from the old Lovaria site into the new web host. Although I originally wanted to redevelop the whole website into ASP.Net, I'm just going to reprogram the PHP stuff from the old webpages into Classic ASP for now. The sooner I move the stuff the to new site, the sooner we can shut down the old one and stop paying the monthly fees for it.

Sadly, not everything can easily be ported to the new ASP/ASP.Net host. The current gallery will no longer be available in the new site. I'm going to probably get an ASP/ASP.Net driven gallery software for the new site or develop my own from scratch. But at the moment, I'll just make sure that the webcomic pages will be accessible in the new site.

I'm still thinking of keeping the lovaria.com domain name since it really doesn't cost that much and it's like 10 dollars per year. I'll just have to redirect it to the new site once the old site goes offline for good.

So, I'm not sure if there is going to be a new comic page next week. But if I'm up for it, there might just be. But as it is, it is unlikely.

While I'm writing this blog, I might as well thank those of you who still support this webcomic even if it isn't updating that often lately. I'm actually embarassed that you are actively voting for it when I haven't been updating really. Thanks.
