Users who reached stevejbayer.com on my new host would have got a access denied. That happened during the file transfer from my old host to the new host.
The new host runs the latest version of php which is 5.2.1 (as of the date of the site transfer) and there have been issues with transferring drupal from servers with the older version of php to servers with the newer version of php.
I just had to swap out a session.inc file with a backup file of the same for things to get working again. Users who had a similar problem also used this method: http://drupal.org/node/134505. I tried that, it didn't work at first so I cleared the cache tables in the database and tried that again. No success so I then swapped out session.inc (I got that idea from this thread: http://drupal.org/node/20397#comment-111175) and replaced it with a back up and things work fine now.
The reason it took me a while to notice the access error is because while my current ISP has excellent uptime, their DNS servers were pointing to stevejbayer.com on my old host so I had write this post from my back up connection (which is a CDMA connection from another ISP. ) My apologies for any misunderstandings caused by the access deny message.
Edit: Well now that things are fixed my new ISP (after an email request) has updated their DNS to point to the new host for stevejbayer.com.

While http://stevejbayer.com and http://stevebayer.net both have a google page rank of 4, I'm mothballing and pulling content from there over to http://stevejbayer.com since stevejbayer.com has a lot more visitors than stevebayer.net
Exercising my theming skills, I've transformed http://stevejbayer.com/resources into a replica of its stevebayer.net counterpart. That's right, I got the pushbutton theme to work on just one page of the site thanks to http://drupal.org/node/139766 while the remaining pages share a different theme. There was a bit of sidebar juggling involved as the theme in use right now (Barron) has the left sidebar as the default sidebar but displays it on the right. A bit of switching php calls and td (gasp a drupal core theme uses tables?)
