Welcome to the New Format
As you can see there is yet another change in blogging software here at timbly.com. The short version of why is that Mambo apperantly has some vulnerability that was allowing an attacker to use my site for a PayPal e-mail scam. Yes, thousands of fake e-mails were being sent to people trying to convince them to visit a site a enter the username and password. Obviously the site they were sent to was not a real PayPal site. So, our hosts shut down my account for a few days until I figured out that it was Mambo that was causing the problem. I shut down Mambo and changed passwords, cleaned up the server a bit, things like that, now I’m blogging on WordPress, if this doesn’t work out for me I may just go ahead and return to faithful old MoveableType.
The most frustrating part of all of this is that now I have to figure out a way to post all of my old blog entries that I dumped out of Mambo before the end. It may just be a text file for the timbly.com archives. Sorry about the inconvenience.
In the meantime you will notice that this site is XHTML compliant and utilizes many of the latest cool blogging technologies. Comments, TrackBacks, Pingbacks, RSS, and a bunch of others that I have yet to figure out. For instance the links on the top left have some sort of field for what my relation to the person is. (assuming the link is to a blog) I don’t know how this is used, but hey, cool beans.
