14:35 schestowitz; I will work towards a resolution, no worries...
14:35 schestowitz; Thanks for explaining what you did. It helps the investigation.
14:35 schestowitz; You are admin in the blog, which means you have the power to do anything, including breaking it :-)
14:36 schestowitz; > Not miffed anymore.
14:36 schestowitz; >
14:36 schestowitz; > I feel he will figure out whats wrong and fix it.
14:40 schestowitz; Your blog is now back.
14:40 schestowitz; I am miffed
14:41 schestowitz; you did many things were were not supposed to do and I asked you not to do
14:41 schestowitz; first, you upgraded the core
14:41 schestowitz; this needs test and needs backups
14:41 schestowitz; otherwise you can lose 20 years of work
14:41 schestowitz; second, you added not one but many plugins
14:41 schestowitz; that too requires testing and backup
14:42 schestowitz; since I'm your tech guy the risk and e burden falls on me at the end
14:42 schestowitz; I want tho keep the site online for decades to come
14:42 schestowitz; this is doable
14:42 schestowitz; the "no-BS" CRM is all-BSD
14:43 schestowitz; moreover, your blog is NOT a business with many corporate clients
14:43 schestowitz; what were you thinking when you installed it
14:43 schestowitz; software is not fail-proof
14:43 schestowitz; many things can break when you add and change a lot of moving part
14:43 schestowitz; lessons learned: ask me before making any change other than adding new blog posts
14:44 schestowitz; tell me what happened, the full story
14:44 schestowitz; otherwise I can spend hours investigating the wrong thing
14:44 schestowitz; saying you were "blocked" was misleading; you basically broke your own site
14:45 schestowitz; I'm not angry, I'm not trying to clarify what you should do in the fututre
14:45 schestowitz; I was super-busy this week with my web site
14:45 schestowitz; having another "project", to fix a site, added to stress
14:45 schestowitz; anyway, it's back online now

20:52 schestowitz; > blog and I can only add this.*
20:52 schestowitz; Haha, I love that picture. Looks a lot like you.
20:52 schestowitz; I'm glad I found the time to fix it.
20:52 schestowitz; Worry not, I'm not upset at all, just relieved.
20:52 schestowitz; I was also careful not to hurt feelings.
20:52 schestowitz; I think very very few people your age have blogs. Those who do have certainly not done this for almost 20 years. I think you're breaking some record there.
20:52 schestowitz; Stay healthy.
20:52 schestowitz; PS - we got 21 home test kits for COVID. We used our first kits a few days ago just to practice, not because of any symptoms. I reckon this pesky thing will be lethal for a few more years even if 'Sleep Joe' tries to speak about Ukraine instead of a million dead USians.
20:52 schestowitz; PSS - you might want to do some research into "oldest blogger" and how long they did this for. It's hard because 1) you must stay alive. 2) the brain must work very, very well. Writing articulately isn't easy.
