    Sad News about Sarah at the Tipsy Butler

    It was very nice to have known her even if just through this forum. Her spirit and humor was very enjoyable. I'm sad I never got to stay in her place and be present for her and her guests belting out Monty Python tunes over breakfast. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JrdEMERq8MA

    Changing the business name

    In the web even though it changes rapidly, it can take years to recover from a simple name change. Don't undertake it lightly. It is not as simple as just a few redirects.

    OT: File saving problem. Need ideas

    Sometimes these devices get corrupted. Copy the files to another drive, then reformat troubled drive. Then put the files back.

    My biggest nightmare has happened... bed bugs!!!!

    Hi All, This fear of the use of terms has gotten a bit much. As near as I can tell, everyone that has admitted to having grappled with bedbugs is anonymous. Any that aren't anonymous are wise enough to steer clear of commenting on this thread. The notion of potential guests finding it is a...

    Cancellations... UGH!

    Hi and Welcome to Innspiring. It's easy with difficult guests to get off your focus on the end game. The end game is to have happy guests (and potential guests) in your beds while having money coming in. I am a fan of sticking to a policy, but I am also a fan of having a policy that supports...

    Here's something to think about

    Is this a good idea?

    Good question. Avoid 301 redirecting their site to yours. It would have only a short term benefit and would lead to a confusing user experience. Do this only if you bought the inn and were changing the name and domain. Similarly buying the domain without the content and redirecting it to your...
