We are back on blogspot

The wiki experience was OK until the web host went out of business. All the material is written in tikiwiki format and stored in an SQL database. I know next to nothing about tikiwiki administration and SQL databases. I also found that not all web hosts provide tikiwiki.

So, I revert to web 1.0. I will use HTML and docbook. The nice thing about docbook is that the same source will produce HTML or PDF. Since many ss7box users are charged per minute for Internet access, the wiki has not been the best documentation option for them. They are better served by downloading a PDF document that they can refer to repeatedly at no extra charge. Docbook is also a good system for porting content from one web host to another as they seem to be a transient.
