Between cracking up and going crazy, a distraction caused a password error that precipitated a complete system restore.

It did take a day to make the decision. Currently, this is the only site receiving updates due to it's CMS online administration. And that's the sound of a door opening. Managing a CMS can be simple, as basic as adding news entries as often as you want, like this one to complex membership super stores that need a dedicated eye(s) and adventurous spirit(s) to run, like this one could be. Not pushing portals or ringing bells, folks, although this one is
e107 which provides room for growth, creativity and wild niche experiments. Another feature most have is being able to run them from any computer anywhere without installing any software, everything is on the server and runs itself, so members can sign up while you're not around and submit spam news stories for you to review and delete when you have the time, then delete some more.
The morel of this story is - "While waiting for downloads, installs, updates, configuration, reconnection and anything else you can add - this site had a fresh tale to tell long before any others because it was ready, willing and able."
Negativity - The things are just plain cool, BUT, if you are trying to SEO a site, like this one, make sure you can make or get meta tag and other SEO modifications. Open this news into it's own page by clicking the title, you'll notice the page address doesn't mention the content at the time of writing.
