NYSB Site Issues

If it's not, great.

I'd thought that you had TR's that were pulling images from the archives with image tags, and that when the archives went down, you spent time to re-upload the images.

I completely forgot about it but you're right -- that was a big PITA. I have many more to redo so that'll help, thanks. How did revsystems locate the backup?
 
So the Archives can't be hosted on the same server as the rest of the site.

They are costing me $4.95 a month. Pretty cheap, the archive doesn't need anything fancy, it's a small amount of traffic.

The main site is another story.

When I moved the main part of the site a few months ago I got an "intro" deal, $75 a month, but after a year it goes up to $150, which is a lot for me. It's good hosting and we need the bandwidth in winter when the site is really busy. There's no way to pay less in summer, apparently. Do I really want to change my plan twice a year?

I said in another thread NYSB ad revenue is about $1000 in a year with good snow.

At $150 for hosting, I'll be underwater for the first time.

Dude on AZ was giving me shit for giving opinions on the Indy Pass, when I'm raking in Indy ad revenue. I've never taken a dime from Indy. I did take some lift tickets. I've skied with Doug at Jay and I hope to ski with him in far off lands in the future.

How about a “Donation “ button. I’m not an ad clicker but would donate to keep the lights on.

Can't you write everything to do with skiing off? Miles on the car. Tickets. Hotel rooms, skis.All research for your fledgling blog.

Maybe. I don't really want to be a business. I think $1000 is the cutoff to be a business. I don't want to pay an accountant to do a tax return for 1000 bucks.

Understand, I wasn't complaining. I guess I can see how you'd think that based on what I said.

I'm not doing NYSB for money. When the hosting goes up next year it will be the first time I've been under water since about 2015, before I had Google ads on the site. I just felt like letting people know I was crossing the line.

I can't imagine asking for money. It's one of the things that drives me crazy about you know who. If people don't want to pay for something that means it's not a viable product.

I consider it all the cost of skiing.
 
I’ll buy a couple NYSkiBlog stickers for $100. How can I do that?
