OH NOES!!!

Wordpress (my website blog engine) offers me a software update and I'm like "OK" because there are some security bugs that hackers and spammers have been exploiting and causing this website to crash. So after the update, my side-bar menus disappear!!! I tried getting them back through manual code tweak to no avail. I fear it has something to do with Wordpress' inclusion of widgets (mini Java code applets) used to now handle typical side-bar tasks like log-ins, blog post history, local weather, blog-rolls, etc. Now I've got to figure out how to incorporate these new tricks into my website's old HTML code. Just wonderful and if that wasn't enough, my Windows smart-phone doesn't ring anymore. I tried removing and replacing the battery, but that didn't fix the problem, so now I'll have to try doing a hard reset which will pretty much get rid of all my settings and other programs I've installed over the past 6 months. Hmmm, I wonder if the ROM cookers have a newer OS that I can use.

Almost done. What a PITA!!! I've got a few CSS tweaks to do, I'm redoing some of the images on the sidebars and I'm trying to go through my links to weed out the dead ones, but FWIW, I appear to be back in business for the most part. Just think; in less than 2 weeks, I'll be putting up the website's Christmas decorations!!! Man, time does fly.
