Last week was not a good week for Value Bookshop. My hosting was down and I think the company has shut down or runaway or something like that. I didn’t quite have an up to date backup and so, if you’ve been to my blog recently, you’ll notice a few posts missing.

It was crazy changing my hosting, reinstalling all my stuff and trying to figure out all the errors that was happening. Well, what can I say… it is a good reminder to all to do your back up NOW. Make sure you back up everything, including the images you are using on your blogs.

Meantime, do forgive me if Value Bookshop (the website and the blog) is not quite right yet. Appreciate your understanding.
