Kia ora Dave!

And ouch! I empathise and sympathise. Though it’s never happened to my blog, it happened to my PC.

Might it be a case of caveat emptor?

Catchya later

Thanks, Joan. I’m not the only person this has happened to–you and I have some mutual friends who ran into something similar earlier this year.

I once had a car subject to complete discharges of the battery. It was in the shop more than some of the service guys. Try this, replace that, test the other thing.

This is similar, with the complication that I only know enough about the wiring to know how little I understand.

This isn’t a good time for this (when is?), and so I’ve taken the short route–thanks to my backup paranoia, I have a copy of my WordPress files from before the breakin. I’ve restored those, though in my example that’s like putting in a new battery…until I do something more detailed, it could get drained again.

After another frustrating day wrestling with formatting a website, I read your blog and really felt for you. And I understood 0% of your protective measure;->

My sympathy! Hope you get it sorted out soon.
