My Websites Are Offline

 I was working with my account at Network Solutions which handles my Internet websites registrations, and I messed up somewhere.  I can't get into my websites.  Will work on the problem on Monday morning. 

Originally, before I used Bluehost as my webserver, I had registered and purchased my URL's for www.greenway.com and www.egreenway.com at Network Solutions back in 1998. No problems since 1998, until yesterday.

Costs run around $800 a year for all my Internet Publishing, while my website income has dwindled from $1,500 a year to under $400 a year.  I can afford to offer the webpages online to the world. And, will continue offer the webpages up to people until I die, and that is not too far away since I am 78 years old.

My advice to my readers is to DOWNLOAD and SAVE my specific webpages that you want to keep. If individual scholars or organizations want to copy and archive my webpages, they are free to do so.

I still get lots of positive feedback from readers around the world.

"As I may have mentioned, I regularly consult your website on the Tao, as I am in the process of putting forth a new translation, with commentaries. … My current approach is completely different from the edition I put out some 20 years ago. I can’t say I’m embarrassed by my old translation, only that I no longer resonate with it. Again, that’s for your selfless service in putting together your page." - Jonathan Starr, 12/12/23

"By the way, your website on the Dao De Jing is totally awesomme!" - Solala Towler, 9/6/2023
