So, if you tried to visit this website over the weekend you might have noticed that it was completely wrecked.
There’s a story behind that which is hard for me to explain but basically there is this thing I need to do for security that has been on my list to deal with for at least 2 years, probably longer.
Church in Missouri where a particular type of silence is required, August 2016
I felt that the time had come to finally deal with this.
I opened up a “how to do this thing” article online and it looked too easy to be true and I did feel a vague sense of impending doom but also reckless optimism which was followed by regret only a few short minutes later.
Then I realized that I did Step 2 before I had done Step 1.
Unfortunately, at that point I could not access my dashboard so there was no way to undo what I did.
Kira birthday cupcakes that made my digestive system incredibly sorry, September, 2015. I should clarify it wasn’t the cupcakes themselves but the quantity. I think I ate 5 over a three day period.
My webhosting has good support, even for people like me who aren’t good at technology but it took several steps like going to this other dashboard that I forgot even existed but thank the flying spaghetti monster I still had the password and then refreshing and thinking good thoughts.
But that didn’t work and when we got to the next step it became apparent that my skills were not going to cut it. I’m sure it was an easy thing to do but at that point it was easier to pay someone $20 to do it than for me to read through 10 screens of things I don’t understand and take a chance of doing it wrong again and making it worse.
So it is working now but also I am afraid to click anything in my website dashboard now.
