My Blog Was Lost But Now It’s Found!

June 29th, 2008 | writing

Was blind but now it sees. Or something.

You may have noticed that I’ve been somewhat absent here of late. Even more absent than usual, I mean. That’s because I got BLOCKED out of my blog. Turns out I was hacked. It was pretty awful.

BUT Chris Cree saved me. Er, he saved my blog. He’s a friend of mine, which I’m telling you in the interest of full disclosure. Because I really want to recommend his new blog tune-up, which helped me find my blog. More on that later.

Thanks, Chris.

One more item of note. This weekend, I hung out with Real Live Preacher, Paul Soupiset, Keith Snyder and Larry Picard, Cynthia the poet, and others at this Franciscan Retreat. There were some things God and I had to work out, and Gordon helped give me the space to do that. More about that later maybe.

Thanks Gordon and all of Covenant Baptist for the ministry you’re doing.

Thanks to everyone else for the good and sometimes challenging conversations. God bless you all.

One good thing about that particular hack is that your blog still looked normal to your readers. But not being able to log into your blog’s dashboard is, um, inconvenient. Stupid hackers!

Nancy, it’s always nice to be noticed–even when I’m missing.

Monica, I hadn’t upgraded wordpress in a million years because, um, I just didn’t. So I was running a particularly old and vulnerable version.

Chris, you were one of my best friends before, so I can’t say you’re my new best friend. But… you’re my new best friend. Thank you thank you thank you!
