Link Intervention

For all of those that link to my website, particularly my Cottage of the Month page, please read this. It's for your own good...in a nice way.

Several months ago I changed web hosts, and when this change took place, all of my links, including the Cottage of the Month & the Archives links were renamed. This wasn't an issue on my website necessarily, as we simply redirected everything on my site so there would be no interruption.

I thought all was fine until I started getting floods of emails, particularly during the first week of the beginning of each month. You guys weren't able to view the Cottage of the Month page, same with the Archives, and to some of you that meant that the world as we knew it might never be the same again.

It took a little time and investigation, but we realized that the links you have on your blogs, websites and even your favorites {bless you all for helping spread the Cottage of the Month love} were pointing to my old web host. You weren't necessarily doing anything wrong, you just needed to update your links to my site!

Sooo, we're going to set everything straight! For your blogs, websites, favorites and anywhere else you wish to link to me, here are the proper links. Please update accordingly:

The Old Painted Cottage website: http://www.theoldpaintedcottage.com/

Cottage of the Month: http://theoldpaintedcottage.com/pages/cottagemonth_enter.htm

To all of those that link to my site, my Cottage of the Month, even my blog, I can't thank you enough! I makes me so happy when I stumble onto a new blog I've never read, and they have me linked on their site. Thank you!
