Hey there,

I know, I’ve been away for awhile…

But not intentionally.  I was locked out of my own blog for several weeks.

And rather than hire someone to figure out the problem, I was determined to do it on my own.  This isn’t my only Wordpress blog, after all.  And I don’t have a “team” to handle things like this.

Soon, perhaps.  But for now, it’s either me or one of the local outsource sites like elance.com.

Chances are, it’s me.  At least for small issues like this.

So, after lots of searching around the Wordpress.org support section, punctuated by frequent distractions and detours, I upgraded (via FTP, I couldn’t get into the admin) to version 2.5.1.

But this time I compared my original htaccess file to the existing one and saw a lot of extra stuff on the existing one.

By simply replacing that file, all’s good to go again. Whew!

Sure wish I knew how that file got weird stuff written on it…

Not that scripts don’t have glitches and good hackers can get into pretty much everything.

I just want to know if it was one of those or something else.

Good thing it’s only happened once.  Let’s hope it’s the last time, too!
