Thanks Ginger. I found a few pages on the wayback machine. So, I've got that going for me.
And I sent a message to dreamhost offering cookies...the oatmeal kind.
I appreciate the tips.
Hey, did you get my resume comments? I had fun doing it.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Bonny -- Can you access the mySQL database to see if the posts are still there? It may be that your helper did something to mess up the Wordpress code but that the data is fine.

Thanks Jon. I've forwarded your suggestion along with the surprisingly rapid response from dreamhost...pasted below for anyone else who might ever need to restore a site...and have my fingers crossed.
Dreamhost said:
We always recommend that you keep your own backups as we don't guarantee that we'll have backups available.
That said we do try to keep snapshots of you sites for occasions like this. You'll find instructions on using them below.
It looks a little complicated but take your time and you should be fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a TWOP forums question. Do they have an equivalent to our message center? And if so, how in the hell do you use it? I subscribed to the only damned topic I'm interested in with no email notifications, but read new scans the whole damned site.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have never been able to figure that out, which is why I don't last in phpBB forums regardless of the people or topics involved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Samsung compact digital camera packs largest OLED viewscreen, analog gauges
Samsung announced a point-and-shoot digital camera this morning that's packed with impressive features. The TL320 offers a 3-inch OLED viewscreen, the largest OLED screen on any digital camera, and check out those cool-looking retro-analog gauges up top, giving you the most important data at a glance: battery life and memory remaining. We like.
I am such a geek - I love the analog gauges!

The gauges are cool.
What's so great about OLED?

ita,
I have a response to this....
Click "My control panel" (it is in a bar toward the middle top after log in)
Then, look at the left hand side, you should see "View Topics" - click that and you will see each thread you subscribe to.
Bookmark this page and you can return to it from here on.

But that doesn't tell me about new messages, unless I'm missing something. If I don't keep track of the time of the last message I read, I won't know if anyone's posted since I last read.

Was someone asking about getting text out of PDFs recently? Anyway, this is cool.
