Last week, after Media Bistro tweeted out our link on Twitter, the server crashed. Yesterday, after Brian Clark tweeted out a link, the same thing happened. Our host gently suggested it’s time for us to seek a host who is more equipped to handle our traffic. “Deb,” someone asked me. “why aren’t you banging your head on the desk and crying?” I could have done that. After all, we’re talking serious downtime and loss of revenue. The way I see it though, there are no setbacks, only opportunities. FWJ having so much traffic it busts a server isn’t a bad problem to have. I’m using this situation as an opportunity to better build and grow this network. Banging my head against the desk will only lead to a headache.
Problems only turn into situations if we let them. Turning them into learning experiences is a far better way to handle it.
How do you turn lemons into lemonade?

#14 is for NY metro residents only. Wanted to save others time. Thanks for your work, Deb.
I think it’s awesome that your server crashed! It goes to show you how valuable you are, so much so that your host can’t handle the traffic!
Glad you all are back!
For the courthouse researcher job @ deedcollector – I’m pretty sure that’s just going through records and looking at new warranty deeds. It’s pulling public records and I wouldn’t really consider that a writing job.
(I have family who work in a county recorder office, so I’m familiar with the records and what usually gets researched there.)
