Aging Gracefully567work. So I contacted Flip-Builder-Plus again, and they said the precise coding I needed for the embedding process would depend on the specifics of how the server that hosted our website was set up, so I contacted their tech support. I didn%u2019t quite know what I was doing, and was trying to communicate with three different tech support teams. To complicate matters, whenever I contacted one via email, I%u2019d have to wait for a response, which typically took a day or two.It took a lot of back-and-forth %u2014 and three weeks %u2014 to get that first flipbook to work on our website. Surprisingly, the answer came from the people who ran the server that hosted our website, and what they suggested was unlike anything the other two covered in their manuals, or told me through tech support. Now that I understood how to do something that actually functioned, I did it again for each of our other six photography books. In addition, Lynn and I decided to add flipbooks of the book we%u2019d created about her life in art, Fools%u2019 Journey (this book), and all our postcard and philately collections %u2014 in total, 43 different flipbooks. Thankfully, the work went smoothly, although it did take a few days. When all my files were ready-to-go, I began uploading them to our host%u2019s server. That process also went smoothly %u2014 for a while, then I started getting scores of errors. Which meant more discussions with our server%u2019s tech support, and more days of delay. We were using a local company, but hosting websites wasn%u2019t their primary business, and the problem turned out to be that they didn%u2019t provide much storage space for websites. Because the flipbooks needed a fair amount of storage, we needed to find a new host. After a few days of research, I settled on a company called Hostinger.com, which offered much more storage, and at a cheaper cost. They even had a way to automatically transfer our old website to their server with a couple of clicks of the mouse. But, it didn%u2019t work. So I had to upload everything manually (using Filezilla) just as I had with our old host.After all our files were moved to the new server, I signed up for two email accounts %u2014 one for me, one for Lynn %u2014 using the same email addresses we%u2019d used before, which would now be routed through Hostinger. As a final step, I went to the website for Net-
