Katherine's Squidoo Quandary

Katherine Tyrrell, my walking art encyclopedia, is in a quandary about what to do.  She has created 160 helpful websites on Squidoo and they are closing down.  Check out her article and maybe you know of helpful software or servers for her.

I am clueless as how to help.

I have kept my website on my own as I know things disappear, especially if they start out "free".  I can always move to a new server, but so far I haven't had to.  The original server was Cedant and they sold to Aplus.net,  https://www.aplus.net/   so I have only had to adjust my thinking once.  It is more trouble to do my own design and updates there, but I have control of all my photos and information.

I am tempted to go to other servers where the websites are so much easier to update.  That means they have all my photos, etc., stored without easy access or ability to delete by me, plus use their templates.  I have all my old designs stored on my website in archives which are still accessible to me and I could use that info again by linking to it.   I have so much storage there that I don't know what to do with it.  I host a couple of other sites, too.  Maybe I will just stick with my mess!

Since I don't even understand websites, I am no help at all.

Bag Blog, I'm clueless on this, too. She has so much good info there it would be a shame to lose it. I can't believe how much she writes and researches.
