Hey my last post was post number 300 on this blog! 300! Crazy times.

My host move is complete now, all sites now reside on Hostgators server. I just went to cancel my dreamhost account but though I better check the FAQs first to see how I go about getting the 6+ months back that I have pre paid and about fell off my chair when I read that they don’t refund that — I am staying calm at the moment and waiting for them to confirm it via a ticket I just sent in, but if that’s true there’s going to be drama…how could they possibly charge me for 6+ months of service….that they have not and will not be providing me with?! There must be some mistake.

Have you seen the new themes on GMail? When I noticed the design change yesterday I figured there must be some way I could edit the colour scheme, but look as I might I could not find it — I logged on just now and saw a big note saying to go to the themes tab to change it, so whether I was being blind yesterday or they only just added it — who knows?

I have set it to the desk theme at the moment, I have a similar theme on one of my other Wordpress blogs. Though I think once the novelty wears off I will switch it to something similar.

Still, cool new feature. I love me some GMail

I’ve been playing with the Googlemail themes too. They’re under settings / themes, 31 in total.

The graffiti theme asks for your location and customizes the theme accordingly!

It doesn’t seem very fair of Dreamhost, since they couldn’t handle your site and told you to move. :-(

Good luck with Dreamhost… They sound like a pain in the ass… =’( I REALLY do hope you’ll get a refund or something! But knowing some companies, I don’t know how good the chances are… =’(

I didn’t know about those new Gmail themes until I read your blog, so I just logged in and had a look at them. I really like them, they’re much better than the standard theme.

I have already seen new themes on gmail, they are very nice, I chose “on the beach”.

Nope they did not, it says in the TOS if you cancel you don’t get any money back and they confirmed that as correct :(

I am going to fight for it though, I have just not got around to it yet.

Great blog. I must say that you chose a great Webhost. Hostgator are definitely one of the best out there. I love their live support along with the good prices.

Just added you to twitter over at Entrecard ;-)

Ciao
