A message for Homesteading Today people

Over on the right sidebar is a link to a message board called Homesteading today. Because of that link, and because I have mentioned the forum in my blog a time or two, Google searches often bring people to this blog in search of Homesteading Today. Last time I checked, the link is broken.

In the past few days there have been more of those searches bringing people here, because a hacker totally did away with the Homesteading Today forum.

I found this out by using Google and ending up at a Facebook group for HT now; that site is keeping me informed on what's happening at the website. They seem to think they'll be up and running in a couple of days.

Meanwhile, if you're looking for Homesteading Today, just be patient; if you're on Facebook, do a search and "friend" them. You'll be kept in the loop that way.

Homesteading Today!!!!

I see the Homesteading Today forum is broken at present; I tried to go there and found a message saying "Database error".

This sort of thing always sends people scurrying to their favorite search engines and typing in the words "Homesteading Today", hoping they can find their beloved HT site.

So where do they end up?

Since I've blogged about that forum a few times, it sometimes brings them to this site.

Welcome, Homesteaders! Scroll down the page and you'll see a picture of my cattle herd; maybe that will satisfy your country yearnings until the forum is back up and running.

Welcome, Homesteading Today friends!

When I checked my Sitemeter earlier this afternoon, I noticed I was getting a lot of new visitors from Homesteading Today, one of the useful forums I check into often. It's a place where you can ask questions about most any farming, homesteading, or livestock issue and get several answers and opinions.

I knew I had not posted anything there for some time, so I hastened to the site to find out what was going on. Lo and behold, the site is temporarily down, and several blogs were listed so the members would have something to read.

I checked out all the blogs, and found some really useful information and several interesting people.

I just wanted to throw out the welcome mat for my fellow HT users. I'm not as "homestead-oriented" as many of the other blogs, but hey... at least I have a tractor up there at the top. That has to count for something, right?

Feel free to comment: I do allow anonymous comments.

P.S. I noticed one of the HT referrals is in Bates City. That's so near, I could spit on them. Any other Kansas City area Homesteading Today folks dropping by?
