the downside of doing your own thing
so last evening, i idly clicked past my blog… only to suddenly have a *panic attack* as it no longer looked like my lovingly hand-crafted (lumps and all) bordello theme, but had somehow been switched over to the spare blue and white default wordpress theme. how that happened, i have no idea since *i* didn’t do it, and it’s not the sort of thing you can accidentally mess up. you have to be logged into the dashboard and click several different tabs in order to change themes.
luckily all the filage and assorted bloggery was still all in one place where it was supposed to be, and i managed to easily switch back, but i’m still baffled as to how it happened in the first place. i do make a habit of backing everything up… and it is only a blog after all. but still, it has me somewhat freaked. i can’t imagine anyone would hack in, but what else could have happened?
still, what can you do? i changed my passwords, backed up everything again, and chalked it up to miscellaneous freakery.
this kind of thing doesn’t happen to people on blogger 
igh:

the other day i tried to leave a comment on your blog but a blue-and-white themed comment box popped up, rather than this regular one. and it wouldn’t accept the comment. just fyi.

It does happen to people on Blogger!! Shortly after the conversion to “new” Blogger, something went wonky and everyone was reset to the “default” theme. This happened on Livejournal awhile back too. So, it’s not just you
