Well, that was unpleasant.
I opened the blog to add an entry since it has been about a month. And I couldn't connect. I just kept getting an error message. And so the only solution I could think of was to reinstall Movable Type. Oh yeah, remember how well that went a year ago?
So now, three hours later, it seems to be working. Fingers crossed.
ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
