vol. 7 ::THUNDERCLAP:: This may be my most exciting newsletter I've sent (so far). But it didn't start out that way - quite the opposite. For almost a month I have battled my library's website - trying to learn a bunch about running sites so that when I reached out to the IT Crowd...

...I would have a general idea of what they were talking about. But I think that set me up to have even greater frustrating interactions with a certain site platform's support reps (rhymes with SnewPost) over a two week period. When I finally connected with someone who fully understood the situation, and who efficiently corrected everything - it was an enormous relief. And here's the thing: I could have let this situation get me down way more than it did. But I decided that I'd already put more energy into it than it deserved. BIG BUT (heh) Through this whole IT nightmare, I learned waaay more about websites than I ever have. And what I learned has had a major impact on Hafuboti.com. What this means is that my site is coming back from the brink of death!!!

One of my biggest regrets with my site host change, is that all of the links people had saved on Pinterest and elsewhere were now directed to a 404 error. REGRET. NO. LONGER. Now all of those links should be sent to what used to be there - it's just messy at the moment. And "the moment" will likely take a month or two, but after that I can focus on new content. Thus, for my loyal newsletter readers, I wanted you to be the first to know (well, besides my husband and our kitties - who found out when I let out a loud victory yell - and had to explain what was up after they peeled themselves off of the ceiling) about this exciting development. I may return to quietness for awhile, but know that in my free time I am updating/improving things as efficiently as I can. You can hop onto Hafuboti.com any time and check my progress. You can look within the Library Blog section and see what does and doesn't have a featured image to gauge progress. Or you could just ask me :) Until then, I'm wishing you the happiest and funnest of book times!
