As many of you may have noticed, fallenearth.org fell. There were probably DNS(Domain Name Service) problems, since such alternate addresses as fallenearth.sytes.net worked. GraniteCanyon has given me problems before, so I switched to ZoneEdit. It's free for the first 5 domain names or 1 million DNS queries; I'm thinking that if it wants to entice me into paying for their service, its free service should be much more solid than GraniteCanyon. Not to bash GraniteCanyon too much, as it is pretty much completely free. I'm also looking into possibly running my own nameserver, but I'm not really sure how that works. Even fallenearth.sytes.net did not work too well for the blogs. That is because MovableType loves absolute URI(Uniform Resource Identifier)s. Luckily, Shirley Kaiser discovered the MTRelativeURL plugin, so I have been working a bit to make the blogs section more friendly to switches in domain names. It hasn't been switched all the way; it would involve me editing all your templates and that takes a long time. Especially since not all the templates are the same anymore. However, all the blogs should at least be readable without hacking the address. I suspect that I won't be bothering until the next DNS(Domain Name Service) outage—which may come very soon after the ZoneEdit change kicks in. I wasn't sure that I had set everything up correctly, and everything is delayed 72 hours. So just use fallenearth.sytes.net if you find fallenearth.org down. Why use fallenearth.org at all? It is theoretically the more permanent address, as I am paying for it and they can't legally just pull the name. fallenearth.sytes.net was provided free from No-IP.com and could potentially disappear at any moment. Except, it hasn't for a few years now. Still, I'd prefer you to use fallenearth.org unless it is down.
