Adventures in screwing up other people's websites and being a big jackass in general

I am an idiot.

A really, really big one.

Being the idiot that I am, I've ruined the blog of someone I genuinely care about. Steve, the fabulously wonderful man behind A New Kind of Christian, has been hosted here at Sonafide for some time now. He's crafted an amazingly deep and thoughtful blog that spans several years, and thanks to a goof I made, about six months of his blogging may be lost. I'm not sure what I did or why I can't fix it. I feel like such a jerk.

Steve, I am so sorry.

I'm pretty sure my goof has to do with my recent foray into the WordPress universe, since it was only until I tried my hand at running it did Steve's website hit the skids. Actually, I'm sure that this was the cause, and it messed with the mySQL database that allowed his site to function.

I know that if my blog had suddenly vanished I would feel upset. I've spent a lot of time writing, thinking, reading... a lot of hours were spent here, and it would anger me to have them wasted. So far, Steve has shown he's a much better man than myself (of course, I'm not a man, but you know what I mean). He's been so patient with me this last week. I'm really amazed by that.

Seriously, I'm an idiot.

A really, really big one.

In other news, I'm flying to Atlanta in 10 days for a job interview. Wish this idiot some good luck. And don't hold your breath for the new Sonafide.com to come out so soon. I'm not using WordPress. Ever.
