About 3 weeks ago, I realized several WordPress sites we run were inadvertently setup under an FTP username that we give out to people for uploading large files for us. I deleted that username which then disconnected access to the various databases that feed the sites. It wasn’t a hard fix and it wasn’t pressing enough to take care of right a way so I just now got to it.
There have been times during this down time that I felt really frustrated because I couldn’t post something I wanted to remember. Like the other day, we saw the news on the wires that Paige Davis was returning to host Trading Spaces. The production let her go after photos were published of her stripping on a bar to raise money for charity. That was a mistake. Without her, the show floundered and couldn’t hold it’s audience. Having a charismatic host is gold, and we’re excited she’ll be back. The show is in production now and it’ll start airing again in January in HD. The original series was such a phenomenon, and my guess is that re-creating that success isn’t a given. I hope she can do it again because she is magic on screen, and I don’t think she deserved being dumped.
SO THERE! I’ve written, I’ll post and I’ll start thinking about something else. I might get serious about blogging for an audience some day, but for now, it’s just personal record keeping for various thoughts and memories. I hadn’t realize how much I have started to depend on the blog as an emotional release.
The moral: start blogging and save on therapy!
UPDATE: There are still some issues. I’m having to put HTML in to make paragraph breaks and the sidebar is down at the bottom. Wacky.
