With Ryan gone I have no idea what's going to happen with his hosting and domains. I don't know if he's arranged to pass them on to someone else or what. If I was in Ryan's position, I sure that I wouldn't have made preparations like that.
Having said that, I'll probably be moving to a different location on the 'net. Not sure where or when. I've made a backup of most of my posts (not the last couple yet), so hopefully where ever I move my blog to, I'll import the last 1035 posts. Ideally I'd set it up as smoothly as possible so that it this location has the proper redirects etc. but we'll see.
One thing that I would like to do is make sure that Ryan's site - or at least the contents - don't get lost. Not sure what the plan is for his site / domain, but what I'm going to do is make a backup of his blog and host it where ever I have hosting. He's hosted me for this long, I think that I can host him the rest of the time. Fair is fair.
I think that for someone who's spent so much effort and time working online, an online legacy is fitting. Maybe that's just me. That's my plan to honour my friend.
Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteI am working with Bill Lowe on these matters. I will keep you in the loop regarding Ryan's many websites.
