  • Review of Map Communications

    Monday, December 31st, 2007

    I might not be able to categorize my posts at the moment, but life has to go on, and eventually the bug will get worked out, I just know it. So in the meantime, I’m going to keep going with my scheduled reviews, and try not to think of having no categories as the end of the world. Because it’s really not, right? Right?

    This review is of Map Communications, which is an answering service company. If you are a parent, I bet you have called your doctor’s office at least once after hours looking for advice from the doctor, right? And you probably got the answering service, who took your name and number and maybe some other information, and then they paged your doctor to call you. Unless your doctor’s office has their own after-hours service, they more than likely used an answering service company, like Map Communications.

    Until I started researching this post though, I had never really thought about what other uses there are for answering services. Say you are a busy executive who travels a lot on business. Calls are coming in to your office, people need to reach you-Map Communications has live operators who answer calls with the fastest pickup times in the industry, and can route the calls live to your cell phone or deliver messages to your pager, cell phone, email, or fax. You can also set up voicemail service with the capability to connect to a live operator in an emergency.

    In this day and age, business takes place 24 hours a day. It is practically unthinkable to NOT be reachable, right? If it’s important that your calls be handled quickly, professionally, and correctly, see what an answering service like Map Communications can do for you or for your business.

    Last night I upgraded this blog to version 2.3.2 of WordPress. I lost all of my categories.

    Let me repeat that. I lost ALL. OF. MY. CATEGORIES. Two and a half years’ worth of posts, now all labelled “uncategorized”.

    WordPress Support’s suggestion was that I “drop all my database tables related to wordpress, check and rebuild them, and then run the upgrade again”.

    I have no idea what that means.

    Bluehost support says there is nothing wrong with my database tables.

    I have no idea what to do except go through and re-categorize all those posts. I have no idea how many posts I have written-hundreds, for sure. Close to a thousand? Possibly. Great googley moogley, people.

    If anyone knows what to do, and can explain it to my not-smarter-than-a-fifth-grader-brain, PLEASE speak up.

    At least I get to create a new category for this post! Yippee.

    P.S.-I created a category, the way you always do on the dashboard, by typing it into the box under “Categories” and clicking Add. Nothing happened. FRAK FRAK FRAK FRAK.
