It’s been a harrowing couple of days here at 10,000 Birds base camp. It appears our site was somehow hacked or hijacked and, in response, our webhost put us in quarantine. Many frantic hours and a one new webhost later, 10,000 Birds is back and, just as a butterfly undergoes a startling metamorphosis ‘ere emerging from its chrysalis, we’re better than ever. I took this opportunity to eliminate nonessentials and upgrade to the newest version of WordPress so, though you might not see it yet, the future looks to be bright (assuming our site isn’t still hacked…)

Welcome back! I thought something serious must have happened, prompted me to do a database backup right away.
As I always say, you’re a wise man, Duncan.
Hooray! We were all pining. (Now I must find out how to do a back up.)
