And we’re back…sort of.

As you may well have realized, smashy.net has been incommunicado for almost a year. It has been quite the experience. The original site used bblog. According to their site:

NEWSFLASH: bBlog is dead! Long live bBlog!

After a number of years of the bBlog project, with the last couple inactive, it is time to call it a day.

bBlog is no longer activly maintained, and there are no plans to carry on with development.
There was an attempt to resurrect the project, but after a year nothing has come of it.

For this reason, it is not reccomended to carry on using bBlog, instead I suggest you try
Other Blogging Software

That was in 2005.

This led us to convert the old site from bblog to WordPress last year. Almost everything was migrated and we had smashy.net up and running for about 3 months when all hell broke lose. Our Pimp-In-Charge, Smash, ran into a bit of a quandry when his ISP had an internal bitch slapping session amongst its owner and staff which ultimately led to the company disappearing. This, in turn, stranded a lot of site owners who had no way of getting back their content. Luckily, we at least had a partial archive of the site.

So here we are. Up and running again but with a few glitches. Please be patient with us as we try to salvage as much as possible and fix what we can. Or don’t be patient. Put your big boy pants on and take a walk. Maybe when you come back we’ll have most everything fixed or new content.

  1. You aren’t going to make me add this site to my bookmarks.
    You aren’t.

  2. Of course not!

    Maybe…

    Yes.

  3. Ah, crap.

    Looks like I need to fix all the URLs in my posts (now that barthost is no longer a going concern). How do I log into this bad boy to fix that stuff?

  4. …or not.

  5. Heh. I set your password to Tyler’s username. You can log in and then reset it. I’ll also use your email address in your username.

  6. This wordpress stuff cornfuses me. I’m obviously old, slow, set in my ways and a waste of valuable oxygen…but I just don’t get it. How doth one edit or create new posts in this beasty? All I can see is comment management.

  7. Congratulations! I have upped you to ‘Editor’! You should have more cool buttons to press and break things in your dashboard when you log in.

  8. Hey, where’d all my image links go in the Culdesac post?

    Why you gotta keep the black man down?

  9. Never you mind, sweet cheeks. I found them elsewhere.

  10. That’s cool. I think I had them on our test site at http://blazinkr8tionz.com (which currently has one of Greg’s themes wrapped around it). I had to remove them because the images that you had in their place were making the web page render all wonky. Glad you were able to fix them.

  11. My penis is large.
