Sorry for the delayed response.

I as a rule don’t make that email address public bidness as I use it for work purposes – and it’s my name, really, which I’d prefer to keep out of the hands of the crazies. I am Miss Andrist around the blogosphere. My own site, screaming-banshee.com, is down while I change my mind repeatedly regarding what to do with it and how. I dropped my email address so you could shoot me an email if you felt inclined. Up to you. ;)

I took a look at blogconsulting.com and I’m not even sure what you’d be paying for. Setup, I guess? Maintenance? And from the sounds of it, some degree of custom theming. I know how incredibly automated the setup process is and if you have a clear idea of what you want it to look like, I don’t mind cracking out a custom stylesheet in the name of liberation. It’s good practice and a good teaching tool I can use with the radfems who are interested in learning the craft.

If you want to do it yourself without learning three different coding languages, check out a tool called Artisteer. It’s unquestionably cheaper than the eight hundred dollars that blogconsulting.com guy would probably set you back, and I’ve used it – it’s FUN. No code at all, promise. ;) Free trial. Anyway.

Just a public service fyi. I’m around, email me or whatnot if you have questions / comments / want to trade tech / etc.

Nothing comes up in a search for leah lasalla other than this post. Do you have more info here? The more blogs with this kind of orientation the better. It’s how most people are becoming acquainted with life these days.

Cookies are hosted on a server. A bunch of common WP plugins and themes updated in the last week or two and in the week before those updates, one of my projects was all screwy with an employee getting spam all of a sudden. No idea if either Jill or Shelly use the same plugins, but good chance. Also no idea if they removed unused themes or not.

Blamers, if you need help with your sites / blogs / etc: leah dot lasalla at atyrwilder dot com.

In a remote hosted environment, this is much less about the destination of the cookies and much more about their origin. Cool tho, shared hosting environment (obviously).

Anyway, I’m around. HTH.

WordPress doesn’t host your blog, it’s just your blog software. I looked up your domain registrar, if you don’t know it.

Have you updated all your WP plugins? An icon on the left panel will show you they’ve changed. That’s the first step.

What’s wrong doesn’t live on your computer, it’s on your remote hosted server. It’s probably no big deal. If you want. email me and I’ll walk you through step-by-step cleaning it up.

Let me know, always happy to help (and I do this for a living, so you can totally sue me if I lead you astray. ^_^)

Wait – What happens when generosity runs out?

IT security, incidentally, is what I do for a living as a (White Hat) penetration tester and instructor, Gertrude Strine. I love this place – one of the reasons that I’m trying to look at it with a helpful eye from an entirely non-intrusive (aka “passive” rather than “active”) point of view. Had no intention of creating the flap that it’s become.
