Please Stand By

October 2nd, 2004

I don’t know what I did wrong, but I managed to screw up the WordPress installation here. I plan to get things back to normal as soon as possible.

Update: Thanks to Ben Yarbrough, I managed to re-install WordPress. All of the blog entries are here, but most of the comments are history (due to a database glitch, and not of my own doing).

Update (10/4/04): Comments are fixed; cosmetic fixes are still in the works as time permits…

    If I may, what happened? Is it the install or the database?

    It’s the install; the database is OK.

    Any suggestions?

    you’ve got mail, I think (I tried)…

    Anyway, what I suggested was (1) disable all your plugins and see if that helped.

    What sort of error are you getting? I understand your front page isn’t what it was…

    Then we can try (2a) or (2b). :)

    DC, when I upgraded my comments went plooey… but there’s a way out. :)

    If this doesn’t work, talk to me via email (maybe an IM? I have AIM) and I can help you through it hopefully.

    The SQL query worked. Thanks again, Ben!
