ArtBizCoach.com is down this morning and they say it will be "at least 6 hours." My email is even out of commission. (Update: it’s back online and email is pouring in!)
Thoughts on this:
- Utter frustration.
- I can’t do anything about it.
- How many sales am I losing?
- How many emails are lost forever? This is just one reason why email is unreliable! If you don’t hear from someone, email them again in a few days or call them.
- Free time!
- I’m glad I have another email address that works.
- I can still communicate through this blog, Facebook, and Twitter.
- I’m glad I backed up EVERYTHING 1.5 weeks ago.

Oh dear! Deeeeeep breath. Remember, the world goes on without the internet and one website. You’ll be okay because you’re fab – people will wait.
Yikes- so frustrating for you! When the power goes out here we are completely helpless. Well, not really but disconnected and floundering. I was terribly inconsistent about backups but I just got a new Macbook Pro which has Time Machine on it. It backs up automatically to a portable hard drive at regular intervals. And it even has 3 usb ports. Way cool Good luck!
Wow, you poor thing. I would be a little worried about being down too long because of the search engines. If it does cause a brief hiccup with your google rank don’t sweat it … I am sure you have enough folks linking to you that you will not be off the map long. Tina is right … the world goes on, and you are way too smart to have all your eggs in one basket anyway.
Thanks, all! Rebecca: Boy, I didn’t even think about Google ranking. Thanks for giving me something else to worry about.
I have read somewhere that if they spider and can’t find you they do try again. Don’t worry.
I’m catching up on your blog posts and just listened to the “Protect Your Art” podcast. You have very effective ways of making people sit up and take notice! I hope nothing was lost. V
I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t get my newsletter on Monday. I just thought I must have missed it or something being too busy. I finally decided to search out your blog to see if I missed something. Boy I hope all is ok! I don’t know what I’d do if I lost all my computer info. Sure had fun on Saturday! Thanks again!
