Some of you may have noticed the new website layout I revealed just before leaving for RT. It was designed by my fabulously talented friend, Fiona Jayde, and I was thrilled with it. Unfortunately, only a week after it went live, it just… disappeared.

I wish I was being melodramatic. I’m not. My service provider has no explanation for what happened. One day the WordPress database was there, and the next, it wasn’t. Apparently someone deleted the database, but it wasn’t me, and it wasn’t Fiona, which doesn’t leave anyone else who could have done it. There’s always the possibility that my website was hacked, but why would a hacker just delete the database and not do anything more malicious? (I changed my passwords to be on the safe side, anyway.)

This may be a mystery that won’t ever be solved. So to get over the loss of my beautiful new website, I’ve been eating chocolate (an absolute must around technological disasters) and working on a completely new, fully redesigned website. This time, I’m doing it all myself. I’m having fun teaching myself things about WordPress I never would have known, and I’m taking my rusty Photoshop skills out for a ride, too.

I look forward to unveiling the end result.
