If things were lookin’ a little funny this morning, it’s because C-Monster.net was experiencing a fairly spectacular technical burp that was induced by all kinds of stuff related to permissions and content folders and other stuff I barely understand. Thankfully, my new BFF, Wade, over at Yahoo tech support, has helped me get everything up and running. Also: Special thanks to my buddy Abe Lincoln Jr. who pitched in by figuring out what the heck the problem was to begin with… Thanks for your patience…C.
