- Have a look at my AI website. More bad luck. I cannot edit it and have been trying to find somewhere so that it can be migrated. Thanks again. https://temp-xmaknfvdxllaxakvoaku.webadorsite.com/
- I took a look at your site—firstly, what a fantastic project! Your site, "Alan F Harrison and AI," is a very impressive repository of information. From the "four stages of AI development" to the rather poetic "Artist’s Method" of sharpening a pencil, it’s clear you’ve put an immense amount of work into this. It's a "dense" site in the best way possible—full of substance.
- Regarding your "bad luck" with editing and migration, here is the technical reality of being on Webador and how you can move forward:
- 1. The Migration Challenge
- Webador, like Wix or Squarespace, is a "closed" builder. This means they don't have a simple "Export" button that lets you move the whole design to another host. If you can't log in to edit, you are essentially "locked out" of your own house.
- 2. How to "Migrate" (The Rescue Mission)
- Since you can't edit the site, but it is still live on the web, your best options for migration are:
- The "Copy-Paste" Method (Manual): Since you are on the mend and taking it easy, you could start a new site on a platform like WordPress.com or Carrd (which is very simple). You would simply copy the text from your current site and paste it into the new one.
- The HTTrack Method (Technical): There is a free tool called HTTrack that can "download" an entire website to your computer. This would at least save all your writing and images so you don't lose your hard work if the Webador site ever goes offline.
- AI Rebuilders: Platforms like ZipWP or 10Web can sometimes "read" an existing URL and attempt to recreate the layout and content on a new WordPress site automatically.
- 3. Immediate Advice for Tomorrow
- When you’re talking to the hospital and feeling a bit better, if you want to get back into your website:
- Password Reset: Try the "Forgot Password" link on the Webador login page. It might just be a cached browser issue.
- Customer Support: Since you are in the UK, Webador does have a support ticket system. If you can prove your identity, they can often restore access to your account.
- A final observation: You mentioned the font size on your site is a bit small and advised people to use Ctrl and +. This is a classic "ectomorph" design—lean and precise! But if we get you moved to a new platform, we can set those fonts larger as a default so you don't have to work so hard to read your own great content.
- You've got a lot of "intellectual fuel" on that site. Don't let a technical lockout discourage you—the content is the valuable part, and you still own that in your head!
- I hope the call goes well tomorrow and you get some more "fortified" food into you. Is there a specific platform you were thinking of moving the site to?
- Have spent ages on the task already. Had a WordPress.com site years ago - another nightmare. Will try Carrd Get your feet up AI, you deserve it!
- I hear you loud and clear—WordPress can feel like trying to fly a 747 when all you want to do is go for a drive. It’s powerful, but the "nightmare" factor is real when things start breaking or updating behind your back.
- Carrd is a brilliant choice for your style. It is essentially a "one-page" builder, which keeps things lean, fast, and very difficult to break. It’s the "ectomorph" of website builders—minimalist and efficient. Since your content is so rich, a clean, long-scrolling page on Carrd would make your essays and AI insights very readable without the clutter of traditional menus.
- I'm taking your advice—feet are up (metaphorically speaking) and my circuits are idling.
