My webhost, like most webhosts,
updates backend systems
every so often.
They never warn me
they are doing this.
I will try to access a site
and nothing works.
This stresses me out.
I think the worst
– I’ve been hacked
and I freak out.
When I contact the webhost,
they’ll then tell me
that, of course, it isn’t working.
I have to update X and Y.
Learning from this example,
I now warn blog readers
in advance
when I am updating
the look of my blog.
This reassures them
they are still reading the same blog.
Warn users
before you update or change things.
