What title do I add to my experience?

So it's been a couple of days since my last post but there has been good reason. I recently purchased a new computer to use to replace my current network server solution. I figured while I was at I'd also use it to host my websites myself. Now mind you, I've hand coded all my sites to this point and had enabled/configured IIS on Windows XP Pro so I figured it wouldn't be much worse on Windows 7 Pro (I refuse to jump to Windows 8 just yet). Man, was I wrong! I ran into configuration issues trying to serve up ASP pages. Everything I saw online said I should just be able to enable it in IIS and have it work.
After countless hours trying different suggestions from various Internet searches as well as a call to Microsoft and the OEM I bought the tower from, I ended up doing a complete system restore back to the factory settings. I was sure I had messed something up with the systems after all the restores I did when changes I made screwed up something else that was working.
Needless to say, I finally got it working and now will begin the tedious task of migrating over my various sites (of which there are a 1/2 dozen actives and another 6+ inactive that I keep for archival reasons).
So what title can I add to my list of experiences? Network Administrator doesn't seem like the right one because I've had all my various desktops, laptops and wireless devices networked together but this is the first time I'm hosting my websites locally. Does that have a different title? |
