Oh God, have you forsaken us?
They call to us! Oh glorious ones!
“My PC is frozen!”, they cry
“Have you rebooted?”, we exclaim.
“How do I do that?” they weep.
“My printer isn’t printing”, they wail.
“Is there paper in the tray?” we ask.
They are quick to anger, not knowing
that last time we asked,
the paper tray lay bare
“I have a VIRUS”, they yell at us
Panicked that someone has,
(through the computer),
reached into their wallet stealing
the sacred credit card numbers
The plea to us, unseen
“My presentation is due, in FIVE minutes!
And I’m not done with it yet!!!
And my PC is NOT WORKING!!!”
They panic, they cajole,they ask for a Supervisor.
We use the hold button.
We laugh, we exclaim, we smoke.
We come back, business ready,
endless cups of coffee our fuel
“How may I help you?”, we ask the next.

SO Happy!
After simply dropping the files that were missing from blogger into the root folder, all of my images are back! *Deep sigh of relief here* No relinking! Now I can get back to designing and tweaking and writing.

Why?
Why?! Why is WP putting my posts in Times New Roman when I can't find any reference at all to TNRoman in the CSS?! WHY?!?! Surely I'll not have to change the html code each time I post. Surely.

Overhaul
We Jorma tried rerouting the cname dohiggies as the blogger tutorial told us to. Did not work. I called the hosting company and they tried something from their end. Did not work. My hope was to temporarily fix the missing images problem. Long enough to move into Wordpress so I could avoid relinking all of the images in the blog. Did not work. It looks like now I'm stuck relinking all of my images manually, but at least I'm not relinking AND copying and pasting all of my files from my HTML back up, recatagorizing and redating everything. That would suck so much worse.
I moved over to WordPress because I'm mad at Blogger. And because I wanted to have more control over my site. The only problem with this is that I was so desperate to get away from blogger and try to reclaim the blog that I jumped into WP without having any idea how it works. Sink or swim, baby.
I have wordpress questions. Most of them I am figuring out as I go along, but I think the answer to a lot of them is going to be something that I'm not going to like. Something like learn CSS and edit the files manually. In all my spare time.
Seriously, this application has spellcheck for 12 different languages but I can't change my font unless I edit the CSS? That can't be right. And what's up with the little Mystery Man icon next to all of my posts? I don't need that because I'm the sole author and I can't find the place that has the little check box to remove it. Shouldn't there be one? Granted I've only been at this for two days and am trying to work on it during preschool hours and while the kids are sleeping. I don't think the learning curve is really that steep, but it's still daunting to say the least.
Hopefully, I'll be gracing you all with my snarky commentary soon.

Ok, now since we've switched all of the CNET names the rest of my site is down. Hopefully we'll be up and running again soon. Please bear with us during this time of confusion.
