About our images
I just updated the content management system running this blog from WordPress 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 because one of our authors was unable to log in. In the process I remembered to back up the theme and the CSS stylesheets that make this all possible.
While that worked nicely, my forgetting to save the wp-content/uploads folder means all our photos are gone. Of course I have them saved on my computer but with 60 posts it may take some time to put them back up. What that realistically means is that I’ll put them up tomorrow between 11PM and midnight after making dinner, cleaning up, doing some work, and going through the inundating excesses of Google Reader.
Update on 7th February: The images are back!
Technology, while beautiful, simple, and full of potential can be infuriating.
While I am writing a ‘Meta’ post, I should let you know that we now have social networking buttons with every post. This means if you use Digg, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Facebook, Technorati, Slashdot, or Newsvine you can submit any post from this blog to those sites.
We’re getting a pretty consistent 700 - 1000 pageviews per day, which is nice, but we deserve higher numbers considering the level of effort put into each post by all six of us. So, if you like what you see, spread the word (now easier, by clicking below: via Digg, del.icio.us etcetera).
It could happen to all of us, at least you have a back-up.
It’s great that you added the social network buttons, I’ll be trying those in the next couple of days! Keep up the good work.
Alex
700 - 1,000 page views is really awesome for such a young website/blog.
Please keep up the good work. My schedule has been very hectic recently so I haven’t been able to keep up as much as I would like. I feel like I really need to devote time to reading the blog since the subject matter is far more substantial than most everything else in the blog-o-sphere.
Thanks Joel, Alex. Things are looking very bright for us. We’ll keep writing as long as people keep reading.
