Comments Broken

My apologies to anyone who was trying to leave a comment as of late and could not. A plugin (or two) was breaking something on my site that stopped comments from going through, and would result in this message:

ERROR: Your comment could not be saved. Please try again later.

A big “Thank you!” to Blobby for letting me know, and for helping me test and fix it.

Well, hopefully it fixed it. 😉

Until next time...

Hacked. Again.

I was out beveraging yesterday with special guests (more on that in another post), when Ms. Karen let me know via Facebook that my blog had been hacked.

Again.

Well crap.

Again.

Luckily I have the ability to FTP into my webserver from my iPhone, so I put my blog in maintenance mode so any visitor would at least be greeted with a message of my choice other than “This site has been HACKED”.

When I awoke this morning, I killed a couple of plugins that I think potentially could have allowed the hackers in, then restored my blog from a clean backup. I guess time will tell if those plugins were the door in. If I get hacked again, that is.

Damn script kiddies.

Until next time...

Instapooping

So…

There’s a bunch of photo posts I “un-hid” tonight here on my blog.

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen them already (although they’ll be much larger images here). I have a plugin on my blog that runs in the background and imports the photos as a post. Up to this point, I’ve been selectively publishing some of the photos to my blog which you have seen on occasion.

Tonight I decided to make them all visible.

You can view the photos by checking out the tag Instapooped.

You might even like a few of them. 😉

Until next time...
