Hacked
Well, shame on me for being lazy about keeping up with the latest WordPress upgrades on my server. It seems as if someone has gotten into my dashboard and done a little damage. It seems like most of the posts are intact, but they’ve deleted all my pages (the about page, for example) and did some other nasties on the backend (like disable my spam filter, twice!).
But all is well now. I’ve upgraded to 2.3.3 and changed my password. Hopefully this will be the end of this little fight. This site has a very high Google PageRank, which tends to attract the a-holes of the internet. Hopefully, when I get all my old free WordPress themes transferred to NathanRice.net, the links will start pointing there instead of here (although if the WordPress theme viewer stays broken, that may not help very much).

I was wondering why one of your posts disappeared… the “Now THAT’s funny!” one.
yep, someone actually overwrote that one with a bunch of links to viagra and the such, but did a style: display: none; on it so it would just look like I accidentally deleted it.
I couldn’t recover the text of that story (if anyone has it, I can repost it) so I just deleted it.
Things still aren’t quite right though. Still investigating.
Man, that’s a bummer. I hate it for ya. It’s not like you don’t other pressing things to do.
Bummer! Actually, I’ve been using 2.5 RC for a while, and I’m working on a blog using RC2 right now. I’d recommend it. I think Cory started using it on a test site or two, too.
