As pissed as I was, in the end it wasn’t all the crap listed above that really had me frustrated. I mean, the blog itself was completely intact. The thing that really had me upset was that my custom theme was what was destroyed in the attack. Now I don’t claim to be any sort of master designer of WordPress themes, but I like knowing that no one is running my theme. I like playing with it, tweaking it, and getting it exactly the way I want it. Even though I was completely back up an running by Friday morning, it just didn’t feel the same running a theme I had downloaded from WordPress.org.

Well, tonight (or this morning I guess) I finally got around to implementing a new custom theme. And it once again feels like home. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve missed a lot of sleep these past few days and I’d like to get some tonight (or this morning I guess).
