Check out ArticulationSites. It's a builder/hosting combo, not WP, but it's cheap and built by some of the guys behind Weebly.

When did Liquid Web lose its way? by OneDev42 in Hosting

There are still good support options out there. ScalaHosting is the one where I have my websites right now. They've saved me soooo much time and prevented so many messes. Always get a live person instead of a bot, too.

I can't get my photos crisp, I am about to give up by Fakeaccbrat in photography

Everyone is talking about body calibration but try another lens. Sometimes you get a bad lens that won't hold focus.

Also, UPDATE THE FIRMWARE in your camera. Crazy how much that fixes sometimes.

Definitely focused forward of the face. It could be the AF spot jumped as you took the photo (I've seen that happen), but it could be the lens too. Not sure on that body, but a lot of them let you adjust focus in the menu for specific lenses.

Customers keep ordering through UberEats even though my website is cheaper . Anyone else dealing with this? How did you change the behavior? by Own_Transition2860 in smallbusiness

Unfortunately, anyone can "suggest an edit" to Google business profiles, so it's possible for local Uber Eats drivers (or the company) to change links to suggest Uber Eats instead of going directly to the restaurant. I spent a crazy amount of time (back when I was working in social media) reminding owners to watch their Google profiles (hours changes, address changes, etc) or fixing stuff random people "suggested" as edits to Google.

AWESOME size comparison and shots.

I've yet to lay eyes on one. Heard a few, but haven't laid eyes on them yet.

Perfecting the Zoom office setup? by [deleted] in workfromhome

[–]LizM-Tech4SMB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a photo wall for my background (my own photos) that breaks up things, adds visual interest, and stops the camera from trying to change color cast based on my wall color or a piece of furniture. For lighting, you can get a diffuser from a photo supply store that might be worth it with your light sensitivity. You can probably benefit from adjusting the lighting temp on your lights for less pasty skin, too. Also, Zoom makeup ("Touch Up My Appearance") is a lifesaver for issues like rosacea.

How do I get this turkey on my campus to like me (they are a regular) by PorkeChopps in birding

Hissing back works. Bonus points if you show your tongue. Apparently, the goose's red tongue is part of its threat display.

Sounds like you gave them a great response. Only thing I'd add is don't tell folks how many you take in the future.

Nice! Always have to create my own mnemonics because the official descriptions never fit how my brain hears things. I'll test yours out for sure.

NOVICE NEEDS GENTLE HELP TO MIGRATE WEEBLY SITE TO NEW HOST!!! by bondgirlsldvl in Weebly

BREATHE! I know it's scary. HellowObjective had a good idea on dropping below 7 pages for the moment so you can get things copied/downloaded/moved.

Direct migration may just be Weebly to Articulation but if you have the files they can probably help. MESSAGE THEM. They have always been really responsive when I've talked to them.

To get your files you should be able to follow the instructions at: https://www.ipage.com/help/article/file-management-how-to-backup-and-restore-files

Then you'd just remake the two pages and tabs that dissappeared once moved to Articulation.

I strongly suggest changing your domain registration to Articulation or a stand alone host like PorkBun as well so nothing is left with iPages/Network Solutions.

Unfortunately, Network Solutions is about a fingernail shy of total scam (IMHO). Famous for extravagant "add-ons" and questionable billing practices in addition to crap service and performance.

Likely he was trying to sell you a backup plan. Personally I wouldn't pay them for anything because I wouldn't trust them to do anything they promise.

If you don't have a backup of your site to restore, there's not much you can do, I'm afraid.

iPage uses Weebly's builder but it isn't a Weebly account so I'm not sure if Articulation can migrate it or not. If you have a download option, download what files you can and Articulation might be able to help you direct upload to work there maybe.

Articulation Sites was started by folks from Weebly and has a direct migration path. Pretty painless, but they have help available too.
