Patience is a Virtue
Or so I keep telling myself. The latest round of upgrades (WP and/or theme) hosed my site, leaving all pages blank except the home page. So I backed up my posts and reinstalled WP from scratch. As you can see the posts are all back where they belong. Now I have to reconfigure everything else.
Lost Chaplin Film Found

Go and see Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. See what Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, and Neil Patrick Harris did with their summer vaca… I mean, their free time during the writers’ strike. Go now. It comes down tomorrow!
