With the move to a new server and the process of importing, a few links became broken. For instance: sailorslifeforme.com/tahiti became sailorslifeforme.com/?id=”235″ or something like that. Now all links make sense.

The image links were also broken and had to be repaired.

The free blog site I’ve been using at wordpress.COM was too limiting. Formatting was a pain in the arse since the css definitions cannot be edited by the web author.

So wordpress.ORG it is! It’s slightly more complicated and I needed to find another web host to display the site on, but it’s more powerful and easier to customize the formatting. It’s also free and I can use it on my personal server if I ever settle down somewhere :)

I settled on 000webhost.com as a server for it’s storage capacity, absence of ads, and compatibility with wordpress.org. WordPress.com is also a DNS register, so I’m keeping my sailorslifeforme.com domain with them using the 000webhost nameservers.

So my sailorslifeforme.com domain is registered with wordpress.com.
Wordpress.org builds my website’s html/css files.
And 000webhost.com is the server where my website lives.

I added a battery separator between the house banks and the engine battery. It will keep the engine battery isolated at all times until a charging source bumps the volts up, then it opens to allow the engine battery to charge.

I also tried adding an isolator between the house banks to keep a low-voltage bank from discharging the other bank. But now I seem to have blocked the House 1 battery from supplying power to the inverter… The question is how to allow the F20 to charge all batteries when connected to shore power, but then allowing both house batteries to power the F20’s inverter when disconnected. Hmmm.

I fixed a few mistakes, added a few fuses and diodes, so I think she’s good to go. Any problems or glaring mistakes, let me know!

edit: The diodes won’t let the batteries power the inverter at sea! So that’s wrong…

Hey, I’m a blogger! Had some time on my hands and decided to try my hand at this blogging thing. I’ll start by adding maintenance pages to the menu on the right.
