Project Update: The Shiny Swine Redesigned
The Shiny Swine Redesigned
While I am not the full owner on The Shiny Swine I am pretty much the co-owner. It is an entertainment blog I write for with a skew towards gaming, bacon, and anything we find amusing to write about on the Internet. While I am still under the full belief that we need to switch our hosting provider as Go Daddy, while great for registering domains, is HORRIBLE for hosting.
Even with horrible hosting though, The Shiny Swine is still pulling in triple figure traffic on a daily basis with little to no advertising being done for it. So changes aside from a completely new look visually (while still incorporating the pig’s that make it swine like in nature)?

We have a few more ideas in the works currently which should be filtering in over the next week. However I have to admit I’m pretty happy with the new look and interface. Now if only we could get it moved to new hosting to make it more stable… (Hate. Go. Daddy.)

Wow, I’ll be honest that was an unexpected comment. Unfortunately we’ve contacted you a few times and it’s due to the maximum connections allowed on the the lower levels of hosting that you provide.
I have to admit that is an absolutely great job at looking to fix issues that your clients are having. Kudos for having a team that monitors for that!
