Paul Barden's old site gone or just me?

last year

I have been trying to check Paul Barden's old site https://tlcfocus.com/paulbarden/ and keep getting no where. I would hate to lose that valuable info. I often refer people to the propagation page in particular. Is it still working?

Thank you Paul. My website‘s hosting plan had a renewal recently, and the hosting company increased the price to more than I think as a reasonable rate so I cancelled my hosting plan with them and will look for a different hosting company. I saved all the files and will move them to a new hosting company soon. The URL will stay the same. This is all behind the scene. I have been busy with urgent tasks at work so I haven’t had a chance to look at different hosting companies. I will update here once I have every set up :) Helen

The original site is no more. It was simply too expensive and Paul no longer added to it. With his permission, a kind forum member here (I can't remember who, but eternal thanks go out) archived every page and stored them on their server, and eventually the Wayback Machine. You can access them at:

ARCHIVED "Old Garden Roses and Beyond"

I just checked the link I had saved from the discussion last year, and it sent me to a generic Go Daddy page. Fig's link above worked fine, so I re-bookmarked it just now. It was BayAreaGirl who fixed it back then.

I think the tlcfocus site was the personal site of BayAreaGirl. Now that everything is on the Wayback machine, she may have let the site name go back into the public domain. I hope there's nothing more serious going on with her.

I spoke with Helen a couple days ago, and she informed me that her web hosting service had kinda yanked the rug out from under her, asking for much more money than she'd expected to continue hosting her stuff (my site included). I got the impression she's looking for a more affordable option, but I don't know when (or if) this will happen.

Its such a shame that hosting a few kb of files for a web site has become so expensive. That's why I gave up paying for the site (It cost me over $300 a year by the time I stopped paying).

Anyway, perhaps Helen will chime in at some point to share more information.
